This model gets some so so reviews, but this price is 5 dollars cheaper than the 4 inch. Please research before you commit so you understand how basic this finder is.

Still a good price for a 7" unit.
the lack of mapping is fine when you know the body of water. you can mark spots, Hazzards, and plot your course to get back where you came from. problem is the x series have a old processor and does not have a lot of memory. no split screen, the drawing is slow. every change in screen has to be redrawn... a big 7" screens should have split screen... the hook 7 without x has this. so, stay away from x
I would use this on a kayak or small boat. it's good for finding the depths and then fish. I would never put this on my bass boat. In fact I have a hook unit it hate now, lol! Id rather use a Garmin black and white unit over this thing.
Go Garmin for fun fish finders people.

- In offroad desert racing (ex: Baja), there's often a waypoint file that is shared by the race organizers to let you know that you remain on-course.
- As with anything labelled 'wedding', anything labeled "offroad" or "racing" automatically gets a serious $$ premium.

The solution is to buy a fishfinder instead. I have the Hook 2 on our UTV and it worked flawlessly for all ~1300 miles of the Mexican 1000 a few years ago.
Considering all your doing is comparing where you are in relation to the next dot (like Pacman), it's not surprising that any basic unit will do.
PS. You don't need to install the sonar transducer unless you seriously mess up your navigation and want something to do while you wait to be rescued.
A good transducer/GPS for your boat will pay for itself in no time.

My specific use-case was to determine, if I ran into an undocumented fork in the offroad trail at speed (basically up to 50mph as you'd only go faster on open flats and those were much more obvious), which one I should take based on the direction of the next waypoint relative to my current position. The GPS kept refreshing fast enough and was accurate enough.
Not junk, just a specialized use-case.
I had a Garmin striker 4 for about 3 years or so. $100 went a long way these 3 years. Getting another one for a different setup and looking at the 4cv model that has contour marking capabilities. But that's a tad pricier...
The reviews on amazon are horrible on this model too.
I have the striker 4 plus. It is great. Only wished it had sd card or wife to transfer the data... I just got yet another small boat and think what to put on it. My striker 4 plus is on my kayak. I do have the Garmin castable with gps. I use it when I bike/hike to a spot... Not down imaging on it

Iike it. I have not got my limit yet. I have the cv version. Iike that I can see how deep and area is on screen. It kinda makes you want to map the whole area. The only issue is that you cannot save off the data. I used to have it networked with an echomap... Not sure if the contour data is synced, but the waypoints were. I will contact Garmin... I know there is a hack I can do to get the data
I guess the last word is, nice to have the features available, but not how I ended up using it mostly.
