In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzitem.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.

I used the flasher mode this past winter 2018, its bang on, depth 30 feet, had bait suspended at 25 ft, and if your eyes don`t to stray off the screen much, solid red bar coming off bottom , Lake Trout On...You can see the hit. I also find if I am not tracking any-thing on the screen, after hour pack it up, wasting your time...or move to a new spot.

I think this unit uses the Gt 20 transducer meaning it has 200 khz that gives you a 15° cone angle and also a 77 KHZ at a 45° angle. The higher the khz the narrow the cone for deeper water and lower the khz the wider the cone angle and it is good for shallow water. The CV is 445 khz and 800khz and it is at a 53° angle oval shape. At 800 khz you see fish better and 445 khz you may see structure better like logs, trees, weeds, brush piles etc.

Useful video, thank you. The 7SV is my first fish finder and you pointed out a couple of things I didn't know I could do. I've been having difficulty with waypoints in particular. I guess I need to edit them to give them a name in order to save them. I'm looking forward to using the flasher off the docks this winter.

kHz stands for kilohertz and you are correct larger the number smaller the area. Good video and trust me once you get used to the down scan you won't be about to live without it. Wait until you try Side Scan.

Indeed higher frequency has better "sharpness" but doesn't pierce the water well so lower works well in deeper water thats why submarine radios are VLF SLF or ELF which are really really low frequencies

kHz is kiloHertz. Herts a measurement of frequency. kilo means 1000. 200 kHz is a faster wavelength than 77 kHz. Meaning that it shows more detailed information. it's a good thing to know.

They are the same exact thing. The CV is the "new version" of the unit. Humminbird had a lawsuit against Garmin because their downvu was too similar to Humminbird's down imaging. So in turn, Garmin changed it to clearvu. It's still the same exact unit.

The kHz is kilohertz (i.e. frequency). The 200 kHz has a shorter wavelength and is good for shallow water. 77 kHz is a longer frequency and is better for deep water. 77kHz would probably be better for depths over 100'.

I'm pretty sure Frequency doesn't determine the cone angle. They out multiple frequencies so that you can have 2 transducers without them interfering with each other. Remember those cheap remote controlled cars that would control each other if you had 2 of them next to each other? That's because they were on same frequency.

I've had mine for about a year now. I have to say I'm not too impressed. Garmin doeesn't include a manual and they make you download it. It's very basic and doesn't really explain the features well. I dropped a crab trap in too deep a water and lost it. I've been back to the area twice trying to find it and it's only in about 15 feet of water. No dice. I also don't see how the downvu is superior to the traditional view. Downvu is harder to read and appears to show less detail. Just my humble opinion on it.
