Elite-7 Information

[mduncan62]

Well, no chance on getting on the water this week, but got the new unit from BBG. Fast shipping, great price. Hooked it up to power and ran the Sim looked at some features. Couple cool things I noticed right away. Same screen shot technique as the elite-4. Power and + button.

I like the Zoom/normal DS split screen. I'll get some use out of this one.


They added some new colors, but I'm partial to the blue or sepia.


Chart/2d/DS 3-way split


Chart/DS


So far, I'm impressed with all the options, and there is ping speed on DS also with 5-6 settings.

The Screen is BRIGHT, I mean you have to see it to believe it. Hope to get out soon, and get some real shots, and recordings done.

Over\Under is a nice one too for 2d/DS on a wide screen.

Thanks for posting. Can't wait until you get it on the water. I sure want one.

Looks like the. 7 is gonna be a good one. Where. Did u mount it? TM or transom?

[mduncan62]

Going on the TM. I'm going to have the LSS-1, LGC-4000 on the Transom with my HDS-7 on the console and share data with the Elite-7 via NMEA2K.

I just pulled the trigger and got one today.

Mike, I like the over/under shots, but in this snapshot I tend to like the 2D better than the DI. DI looks a little fuzzy to me. What chart speed were you running?

[Rees Guide]

While you are linking the 2 units go ahead and link the 4000 to the Elite 7, only draw back I have found is that the GPS is slow. Internal pings once per second and extenal pings 5 times a sec.

I'll have to look tonight, but keep in mind that this was in simulator. I still have not been able to get on water.

I really like that 3 way vertical split on the wider screen 7...

I'm anxious to see actual on the water snapshots...

It will be interesting to see side by side DI snapshots of the same structure on the HDS 7 and the Elite 7...

Congrats Mike...
