    Ordered one today, thanks.

    The 597 has built in chartplotting and GPS....I think this one is GPS "ready"....whatever that means

    I'm not familiear with this unit, but that sounds like it didn't come with the GPS antenna.

    The 587ci HD DI Combo was a Black Friday special made for certain retailers that has shown enough interest that HB "may" consider adding to the lineup...

    Retailer's descriptions are not written by HB (and only vaguely copied from HB verbiage)...

    One should always be cautious and not rely 100% on retailer's descriptions...

    "Combo" means GPS Chartplotting with included GPS antenna (some units internal antenna-with an "i" designation in a "Combo" unit.... some units extenal antenna- with no "i" designation in a "Combo" unit)...

    I think HB does make a unit that has GPS with no chartplotting but I cant seem to find the HB designation for that offering right now... I seem to remember Greg saying it showed waypoints on the screen... But not overlayed onto a map... Kinda like the view on some of the cheaper handheld GPS brands with no maps...

    Maybe Greg will add (or correct) some of this ...

    The only difference I can see is the 4.5 inch diagonal screen on the 587 vs the 5.0 diagonal screen on the 597...

    The display pixel count, size and backlighting are the only differences between the 587ci HD DI unit and the 597ci HD DI unit.

    We also have a 596c HD DI which is basically the 597ci HD DI model minus the GPS. It is a Trackplotter and as Rickie stated: “showed waypoints on the screen... But not overlayed onto a map... Kinda like the view on some of the cheaper handheld GPS brands with no maps...”. It does not come with a GPS Receiver at all, so you would have to purchase one to connect up to it or connect one that you already have.

    Following the link above it can be seen, that this is not a "DI" unit, this is just a 2D sonar:

    Vik,

    Your wrong. I just got mine last week and it is DI. As said above it was a black friday special run. The box says free DI on it and it in fact is DI.
