Wifi sounders/fishfinders
Submitted by Ashen on Sun, 2015-10-25 09:38
Hi guys.
I'm looking at installing a new fishfinder on my boat, to replace my existing OLD Furuno 1610cf combo. The Furuno is good but theres no backlit, which makes it hard to see the display most times.
I was thinking of the Raymarine WiFish but theres also a product called SonarPhone T-Box. Very few reviews on the net..
Had anyone have any experience with wifi fishfinders?
I currenly use a 10" Asus tablet which has Navionics app.

if you like Furuno the gp1870f
have alook at this last night i noticed they have wifi built into them and and they have a plan to nav app for apple and can view on apple devices the new models have this activated and the older models just need to be upgraded to software ver 2.0.3
still looking into it but might be worth a look if you are used to Furuno ?

G'day Dan. The Furuno came
G'day Dan. The Furuno came with the boat I bought. In the past, I've only used Lowrance & Garmin. I mainly fish river and inshore so I don't need high end equipment. Just something that'll show what type of ground I'm fishing over etc.
I'll probably buy the SonarPhone, simply because I can view the information on my existing Android based tablet, along side the Navionics app. The screenshots of the Sonarphone seem decent! Will provide an indepth review if I end up buying it.
