I’m no expert, but i think the wifi and bluetooth at this point is mainly going to give you a way to update the finder via your phone. You need to go slow, only a few MPH to get a good image. Sidescan is most useful for finding structure in my opinion. It just arrived yesterday, so I haven't installed it yet. It supports Navionics mapping, which has Sonarchart Live, which is, basically the equivalent of. Built-in Insight mapping w/ the ability to create your own maps, side/down/traditional/chirp sonar, multi-touch touchscreen control (no buttons), wifi/apps. I ended up going with a Simrad Go7 XSE, made by the same company that owns Lowrance. The closest unit from Garmin with mapping is the Echomap Plus 74 CV or SV, and at $799 or $899, they were more than I wanted to spend. For my use, I wanted mapping options, so the Striker series was out. You can create your own maps with 1-foot contours, and store up to 2 million acres on the device. That feature would sway me towards the Striker Plus 7 over the Hook2-7. What it does have, however, is Quickdraw Contours. The Striker Plus 7 (CV is the $399 model, SV is $100 more) doesn't have maps either, and no option to add them. It also lacks wifi, which is important to me, so I crossed it off my list. It will basically track where you went, and allow you to add waypoints, but there will be no reference to land or any navigational markers. The description doesn't mention any mapping, and there are no variations of the same unit available with different mapping. The Hook2-7 doesn't have any built-in maps. I have virtually no experience, but just did a ton of research before ordering my unit. ![]()
