not much difference 1if you look properlyBarnsieboy wrote:I have just been comparing the HDS vs Elite and there are some huge differences! Huge price difference too haha.
.
most of the things HDS does the elite 7ti can do bar networking, dual card slot and 3d, plus a few things most people wont even use much.
almost everything else like wifi, downscan, sidescan, maps, touchscreen, smartsteer(trolling motor) gps, etc are all available on the elite ti models.
but yeah pick what you need in the sounder and then start to fine tune from there.
one reason also i went with elite ti7 is the fact that one tranducer does everythng, unlike the HDS which needed 2 (but now can use the totalscan transducer that comes with the elite ti7 with a software update)
also HDS units come on their own with no transdcuer which you have to pay for seperately.
