I have used both a Hook7 (not a Hook2 7) and I'm currently running a Garmin 44CV. I like the Lowrance better for downscan and GPS. 7" screen is much nicer than the 4.5 of the Garmin but sometimes gets in the way on the yak. The Garmin is easier to use and does have GPS and downscan just not quite as nice as the Lowrance. For reference I have a Big Game 2 and mainly fish the leeward coast of Oahu.
I would really like to have a 5 Elite TI.
Aloha
