- 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.
