In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzbin.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

For example, my transducer is transom mounted and I find a submerged tree on the screen... Now, how do I actually locate that tree and fish it and catch an actual fish??? do I just cast behind the boat or do I turn and put my boat over the tree?

Tim, one thing I've always wondered about is how deep do you usually want it to be if you are driving over your target area with imaging to not spook the fish? I find I'm always afraid to drive over a spot in order to use down imaging for fear of spooking potential fish, so I always end up doing drive-bys with SI.

Hello everyone! Very new to electronics, my apologies for the long comment and if my questions are a bit on the noob side! I’m in the market for electronics for my pontoon. I currently have an entry level helix 5 g2 sonar only.... so needless to say the new unit has to have mapping. This years budget (wife) allows one head unit and one trolling motor. I’ve made up my mind on the TM. With room for expansion in mind for next year and future I-link networking. Should I invest in the mega side/down/mapping at the the helm and add a head unit and mega down to the Bow later? I fish for all species but mainly bass/panfish. Walleye and trolling from time to time. Thanks for sharing of your knowledge with us weekend fisherman. Keep em coming, love all the videos!
