A bit small

Other than that, they are a very good unit. Couple it with the bluechart sd card, and the unit has several advantages over the Lowrance. For example, it then provides you with autoguidance, which helps you through unfamilar channels and a 3D graphic system for above and below the water line which is pretty reasonable. The base map too, is far more precise than the Lowrance and so initially, you don't have to fork out hundreds of dollars on a Navionics card. I had the 551s before I went to the Lowrance HDS5 with the new boat.

Hope this helps
