I only Kokanee fish, but I love mine! Great detail and I love the WiFi. I have an iPad mounted on my gunnel towards the back of the boat. My kids get to watch for fish and don’t have to be all in my space while I’m driving. I would recommend the dragonfly. Works well while crabbing too.

Seems to work well for me, navigation feature is nice.
I do lots of saltwater fishing and this one seems to pick things up pretty well compared to my old hummingbird.

Similar to Allicat. Mostly Kokanee fishing, and it works great. I too use the wireless set up. I run a tablet next to it at the helm. Dragonfly on chart, and the tablet running the fish finder. I've also starting running another tablet at the back of the boat.


I had one on my old boat for a couple of years and loved it enough, that when I bought a new boat this spring, installed another on it.

 

like it very easy to use slow to start up but once up woks great. Damoperator

 

I haven't heard anyone complain about their Dragonfly.

For another option, I just ordered a Garmin echoMAP CHIRP 94sv from the GPS store for $580. Seems like a great deal for a 9" screen and live mapping. Something to look at.

 

Your going to love that one Swifty! I've had mine for a couple years and just love it. Couple quick passes where ever you are and poof, you've got excellent maps. I just hit record every time I leave the ramp.


Put the Dragonfly 7 pro on the bay boat, but haven't used it yet. Glad to see everyone still likes them.

 

Thank you for all your input. GPS store seems to have the best price too

 

I just bought one on Amazon, $392.

I replaced a 5" Lowrance with a digital yacht wifi interface (separate gear).

Now the wifi is on the finder, the sonar is great and I can continue to use my iPad for chart and the Dragonfly for Sonar. I have another old iPad I am mounting in the rear so that the crew and watch sonar.

I have used it for Walleye, in an area I have fished a ton with my lowrance. No comparison on sonar. Raymarine is excellent.

 

I have one in the back by the kicker that I use for trolling. Solid device. I downloaded the maps for free and loaded them on a chip. Saved me a few bucks versus buying the version with the map chip


Only issue I every had was snapping off the transducer when I ran into a lumber sale in the dark on the Willy one spring morning. Of course that had nothing to do with the device.

Do you use the Navionics App to download the maps or how do you do it? I'm going to purchase the 7 pro in the next month so I've been checking prices and it's cheaper without the chip for sure.

 

I have the dragonfly 5 pro. It’s been great and trouble free for 4 years now. As others said, the WiFi connect to phones or tablets is handy for a second screen in a different location on your boat.

I got mine from the gps store too.

 

I have one mounted on the stern and have been very happy with it. Been running it for two seasons so far with no issues.

 

Check with your dealer because you may be able to get this unit with a Navionics card included. There are several bundle deals going on. See below.

When you buy a GPS plotter that includes a Navionics+ card inside the box, you save versus purchasing separately and have cartography that’s ready to use.

Get the tremendous value of Navionics+ for a very low price! Ask your dealer which bundles they offer, or order any of the following models:

HUMMINBIRD: Helix 5, 7

LOWRANCE: Elite Ti 7, 9; Hook² 5, 7, 9,12

RAYMARINE: Axiom PRO 9, 12, 16; Dragonfly 4PRO, 5PRO, 5M, 7PRO

SIMRAD: GO5 XSE, 9 XSE

SI-TEX: SVS560, 760, 880, 1010

 

Watch west marine online and other web based retailers for blow out sales. There's about a 50 percent retail markup on all of these. I have the Raymarine Axiom 7" series the transducer & navionics chip for 650-750 dollars. This is 100 times better than the dragon fly series which will run that much, once you find out you have to buy missing accessories that come standard with the Axiom.

I've also seen the Garmin 741x series on clearance for 450.00. I then spent another 125 for the chirp transducer.

Both of these are on my boat, I paid the price mentioned because I was patient. I can tell you there both fantastic units.

 

Check the GPS store on black Friday. I picked my DF pro 7 for 379.00 and free shipping a couple years ago on black Friday. I have it on my little whaler for inshore and chasing stripers here in the Delta. Great unit at the price point,,,gregg

 

If I have the dfpro7 with chirp transducer, can I upgrade just the head unit to axiom?

I like the dragonfly ok, but it seems so slow to me that messing with it can be a chore. Axiom any faster?

 

Has anyone see the Dragonfly 7 Pro w/ charts on sale yet? The GPS Store shows it "on sale" now for $439, but that was their original price before black Friday...
