Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought a 727 about a year ago (i.e., Feb 2008).This was to replace a Humminbird that shows fish as a square dot.I had great results with it.I bought this because of the price and features.It works, BUT I have yet to see a true arch that is indicative of a fish.It shows very fine details but arches,nada.I called the cust svc desk and asked for exact settings that should show the arches, not much help there.After using many different settings I have never seen the arch.I don't know.The demo mode shows a multitude of arches.I don't know if I have a bad unit (costs $18 to return it)or if I am just ignorant(I figured the default should work for most uses) still, it seems fine for everything but the arch.Fish seem to show up as a round dot on mine...I hope you have better luck with the arch feature.
