I couldn't see any date mentioned for their expected release.
Anyone know the answer?
I was just about to but a HDS 5 or 7, but I am thinking of holding off now.

These new units should be available from the NEW year - check with your local Lowrance dealer. I also suggest looking at the HDS8 model if you can stretch your budget - it has the best screen resolution , hot keys & provides great detail when using a split screen wink-fish.gif

Hope they get their software upgrades sorted....I had to intall V4 three times. The third time I noticed the file had changed and I'm not alone thinking they fixed it by stealth. "Oh" some decent over the phone support would not go astray either! Send them an e/mail and its a couple of days before you get a usless answer....thats if they answer it at all????
