[Jason Morrissette]

Got the new HDS 7 with the structure scan.......CANT WAIT TO TRY IT!!!!!! anyone have the structure scan/side imaging? is all the hoooopla real...I hope so! Opeechee Lake should be 75% open by the end of next week if this weather keeps up. I'm going to go out and just try and get used to all of the features this unit gives me. I hope im not over my head with this thing alot more going on then the Hum bird 596 lol

I have an HDS 5 Gen 1 and the 8 the structure scan is great I spent the first day out just idling around amazed by it lol.  You can go over a rocky point and count the individual rocks.  Like with anything though it will only help if you use it correctly so practice with it.  There is a ton of literature online to read up on even before you go out to maybe learn a few tricks.

Like Ryan basically said.  Its only as good as the amount of time you invest reading up and spending time on the water using it.  I have the 1198 SI humminbird.  I love it. Although I've only scratched the surface in terms of what it can do, but I have learned so much in just a year of using it.

Good luck with it Jason.  I just picked up a HB 898c with SI.  I am dying just to get out and break in the motor and probably not even bring poles just try to understand the SI.
