Our take on the Lowrance Elite FS 9 with Active Imaging 3-in-1

The Elite FS 9 is a 9-inch fish finder and chartplotter built around Lowrance's Active Imaging 3-in-1 transducer, which combines CHIRP sonar, SideScan and DownScan in one unit. It runs the same operating system as Lowrance's higher-tier HDS line, so menus, charts and sonar views feel familiar, and it supports Live sonar add-ons. It suits anglers who want a big, bright screen and side/down imaging without stepping up to the HDS price tier. Against rivals like Humminbird's Helix and Garmin's ECHOMAP, it stands out on imaging detail and built-in GPS, but its 800x480 resolution is modest for a 9-inch panel.

Questions and answers

Is the Elite FS 9 worth it over the Elite FS 7?
The 9 gives you a noticeably larger screen for split views, which helps when running chart, SideScan and DownScan together. The internals and imaging are otherwise the same.
Does it come with a map card?
No. It ships with the Active Imaging 3-in-1 transducer and a base map, but detailed charts need a separate microSD card.
Can I add Live sonar?
Yes. The Elite FS 9 supports Lowrance's Live sonar modules, but they are sold separately and need their own transducer.
Is the screen readable in sunlight?
Owners generally say yes. The display is bright, though the 800x480 resolution is lower than some rivals at this size.
What is in the box?
The unit, the Active Imaging 3-in-1 transducer, a power cable, a gimbal bracket and mounting hardware.
Does it have built-in GPS?
Yes. It has a built-in 10 Hz GPS antenna, so no external puck is needed.
Where is the Lowrance Elite FS 9 with Active Imaging 3-in-1 cheapest?
