Ordered New Depth Finder

[Comfortably Numb]

These look really good. The down imaging especially. Guess we will see. Found the base model for $572.

That does look really good, let us know when you try it out how it works i've been seeing these advertised and was wondering about them, thats a really good price too.

Glenn and the Moderators attended a Webinar to review the Dragonfly. 

The more you look into this, the more impressed you will be. We are all

looking forward to on-water member reviews. State-of-the art technology 

at a reasonable price. I think you are really going to like this upgrade on

your boat!

Well at least Raymarine made an intelligent foray into the imaging market with a dual technology unit.

[J Francho]

This unit is so well thought out, and feature packed.  Can't wait to get on the water with it!

[SDoolittle]

Let us know how you like it. As someone who is technologically challenged, I'm interested in how user friendly it is.

[J Francho]

Based on our training, the unit is set up with defaults that suit most waters.  The interface is simply a joystick and a dial.  From what I saw, the OS was very easy to understand.

This one looks like a real winner. Priced right too. I think we are going to be hearing a lot about this advancement in sonar technology. Wish the video would have shown more real time images so we could get an idea of just how it might improve our "seeing".

Looks like still a couple more weeks till available

looks like a nice unit, but for the same price I would go with the new Lawrence Elite 7 for the larger screen and for 100.00 more you will add GPS.

Congrats ~

 

If the user reviews match the hype and expectations, there is a good chance it will be replacing my unit as well.

Same here. Im done with rods/reels,baits,line and basicallyy everything else except for boat fuel until I upgrade both units. I have been doing research alot of the different units, features and prices and right now the Dragonfly is on the shortlist. I am def intrigued by it.

I love the price too..

Base model Dragonfly has GPS but no maps (maps are not available for most lakes I fish). The Di on the Elite 7 is crappy, very similar to my Humminbird di. The Di on the Dragonfly looks comparable if not better than the Lowrance HDS series. I agree that a larger screen is nice but mainly for Side image or split screen.

A friend of mine has this same unit ,on his pond sled.He seems to like it alot ,really easy to use to .

It has base maps, like every other GPS, and a slot for Navionics or Hot Maps chips.

 Have you personally seen the Dragonfly in operation on the water?

[Comfortably Numb]

No Wayne. Just taking a chance on it.

 

I dont love my HB 898c si and cant afford a HDS.

[Comfortably Numb]

They are not available yet as far as I know and what Raymarine tells me.

 

Or are you refering to the Elite?
