Lowrance Elite-7 Ti | Review
The Lowrance Elite-7 Ti – matches a 7″ SolarMax display and easy-to-use touchscreen controls with premium sonar features and powerful performance, at a very affordable price. The resolution runs 800 x 480, is pretty bright, and has good viewability from all angles.
Excellent Charts & Mapping – include a built-in worldwide base map plus C-MAP charting covering 11,000 lakes and U.S coastal areas along with support for a bunch of additional third-party chart options like premium C-MAP and Navionics.
WiFi and BlueTooth – is built-in for optional control of Power-Pole® Shallow Water anchors, remote control, SonicHub2 marine audio, Network Analyzer, and Service Assistant integrated service tools.
Support for NMEA2000 & NMEA0183 – is also included for data sharing between NMEA2000 compatible devices and NMEA0183 legacy devices. The Elite Ti is not networkable for sharing sonar. You would have to move up to the Elite Ti2 which has sonar sharing via WiFi.
The Built-In Sonar includes a high-performance 500-watt CHIRP Sonar, DownScan, and SideScan all within one TotalScan transducer.
Lowrance also added an excellent new feature called FishReveal Smart Target View. FishReveal makes fish easy to see by combining Downscan imaging and Traditional sonar on one easy-to-use screen for excellent target separation between fish and structure.

The Elite Ti Series comes in 4 screen sizes… 5″, 7″, 9″ and 12″ and have mostly the same features and connections.
The rear connections differ somewhat on the 5″ unit and it also does not have support for SmartSteer trolling motor control.
Here is a good look at the feature differences between all four families.

To use trolling motor autopilot, you need:
• A MotorGuide Xi5 with Pinpoint GPS
• MotorGuide Pinpoint GPS Gateway
• NMEA 2000 network
The SmartSteer autopilot can automatically control the MotorGuide Xi5 trolling motor to:
• Maintain a set heading
• Maintain the vessel’s position
• Navigate to the cursor position, to a waypoint, or along a route
• Follow pre-defined turn patterns
• Control the speed of the trolling motor
The Elite Ti Sonar StructureScan HD – is a pretty powerful fishfinder with 3 sonar channels. The built-in Broadband Sounder includes a CHIRP traditional sonar, DownScan Imaging, and SideScan imaging.
Transducer options include 4 choices the TotalScan which is the all-in-one transducer for Med/High CHIRP and StructureScan HD with SideScan and DownScan Imaging within a single transducer installation.
Additional sonar features include Sonar Trackback and FishReveal Smart Target View.
Traditional CHIRP Sonar – provides a view of the water column and bottom for looking for fish and structure. Broadband can use CHIRP (Low/Mid/High) frequencies in 50/83/200kHz with a power output of 500 watts. The maximum working depth is about 1000 Feet using (mid/high CHIRP).
Here is an example of the traditional sonar view.

* Optional Sonar features that you turn on/off individually.
StructureScan HD uses high frequencies in the 455/800kHz range to provide a high-resolution, picture-like image of the water column and the bottom.
SideScan gives you a wide coverage in high detail to about 300 feet to each side, while DownScan provides detailed images of structure and fish to about 300 feet directly below.

FishReveal – makes fish easier to see. By combining CHIRP sonar fish arches with the high-resolution DownScan Imaging you get a view to distinguish fish easier.
Elite Ti | With FishReveal
FishReveal overlays CHIRP sonar and DownScan Imaging on one screen eliminating the need to have a two-panel split-screen layout.
Elite-7 Ti | TotalScan Transducer
The 4 Transducer options include the TotalScan all-in-one, Med-High Skimmer, the LSS-HD StructureScan HD, and the HDI Transducer.

2. Med-High Skimmer transducer for Med-High CHIRP Sonar only.
3. LSS-HD StructureScan HD transducer is for SideScan and DownScan Imaging only.
4. HDI Transducer combines Med/High CHIRP and DownScan Imaging only.
