Screen Shots from Lowrance HDS-10

I'm posting some screen shots from my HDS because I have nothing better to do right now. I recently installed the latest update and am now able to get the Navionics chip to work for the first time.

Very nice toy. My friend in No cal has the same setup and it is to sweet.

Very nice. How close do you come to matching what shows on the screen to your real position? I have seen some to be dead on while others in some areas are off by up to 1/2 mile. I remember one guy telling me when in Puerto Vallarta his screen showed him way up on the beach when he first entered the harbor.

So far with the Lowrance "insight" charts it has been dead on. I just got the Navionics Platinum + chart to work (after downloading Lowrance's latest update), so haven't been on the water yet.
Some of the screen shots I posted show the lowrance chart first and then the Navionics overlay in the same position. I suspect that it will be accurate?

I have my heart set on getting one also. HDS-7. I want to get a transom mounted 50/200 transducer. Has anyone used this set up? How well does it show the bottom at, say, 360 feet? I understand that 50/200 is better for deeper readings.

Has anyone used the new broadband radar with the HDS line? I hear they're nice.

Oops, my bad. I meant the HDS-7 thread. Still any help would be appreciated.
