Simrad and Lowrance are the same company. On the other hand we have had great luck with Lowrance. Go figure. I would look at features and reviews on line. Don't be intimidated by info or manual on whatever unit you decide on, just work on one thing at a time "till you get comfortable with that and move to the next item. Bob R


Simrad might be the parent company of Lowrance but they're not even in the same boat (pun intended) I've seen plenty of Simrad on commercial vessels but have never seen Lowrance on a commercial boat. Simrad is orders of magnitude better than Lowrance, as is Raytheon/Raymarine. But everyone has their preference....blonds, brunettes and redheads....
