Best Sonar/Chartplotter

SOLIX 15 CHIRP MEGA SI GPS

I can only describe this sonar/charplotter unit as over the top—the 15.4-inch LED backlit screen is bigger than my first TV, after all! It features CHIRP and MEGA Side Imaging out to 800 feet and MEGA Down Imaging to 400 feet, along with traditional 2-D sonar, GPS chartplotting and AutoChart Live mapping. The built-in Bluetooth even syncs to your smartphone to display texts and other notifications right on the screen.
