I wanted to send you some information regarding the current Lowrance products. Ultimately I want to help you get the unit that best fits your needs while taking advantage of the current mail in rebates.

Currently Lowrance has 2 product lines, HDS Carboon (the flagship of the product offerings) and Elite Ti (Which has lots of HDS features at a lower price point) In a nutshell, the Elite Ti series units has full map support for Rugged Routes mapping and are operated via a single touch, touchscreen and have most HDS features except a wired ethernet connection. Wired ethernet is only required for some optional accessories. The Elite-7 Ti andlarger all have a NMEA 2000 port which is required for connecting an external antenna while the Elite-5 Ti does not have this option. Overall I recommend Elite Ti Units for those who don’t wear gloves while driving off road who due to the touch screen operation. The Elite-7 Ti units are the most popular in this series and currently has a $100 Rebate available through May 31, 2018. You can purchase your Elite Ti Units from our website here: https://ruggedroutes.com/lowrance-off-road-gps-units-c-22.html/lowrance-elite-ti-off-road-gps.html The rebate form is available here: https://www.lowrance.com/contentassets/10fdf044b7ae4832b5050f4e27190207/catch_a_great_deal_rebateform2.pdf

They have a multi touch, touch screen as well as a full feature set of physical buttons. because of the physical buttons, these units are more ideal for those that wear gloves such as in Side-x-Sides. The screen also has extreme viewing angles and is resistant to darkening issues with polarized sunglasses and goggles. The HDS Carbon is available in screen sizes from 7″ to 16″ with the 7″ being the most popular. If you are considering the external antenna option, you may want to consider the HDS 7 Carbon Baja Bundle.

It’s called Dynamic Color Trails  which allows a trail that you are tracing to be colored based on how fast you are going, or based on a temperature reading from an optional sensor. In the video example is shows this being used based on Speed Over Ground. The video can be seen on our YouTube channel here:
