Yes, that would make if identical to the setup I have. It plugs right in. The structure scan box is built into the unit.

Yes - the touch has the downscan option included, no need for the external box that original HDS required. Pretty cool option, I use it every time that I go out - great addition to the Lowrance system.

This question is over my head. All I know is the scanner does not work and I let to much time go by to return it because it was a Christmas gift bought to early.

i didn't have to install anything to use its basic features. I insert an SD card, then scan documents. Then I take the SD card out and insert that in to my computer and the scanned items are in .jpg format on the SDcard. pretty simple.

According to the MP NAvigator software that comes with it you can do a Duplex batch scan. I've never actually done it, but it appears to put it all together.

Yes it requires the structure scan transducer for side and down scan. The regular transducer 200hz is just for regular sonar images.

I also scanned my dl with no problems. It reported an "overlap" and gave me the options to rescan. It's not something I'd want to do too often as it may cause problems down the road with the rollers.

When scanning are you running it through the document feeder or scanning from the glass? As regards scanning to other PCs are the units you are trying to scan to all connected via a network?

I "think" that this came with a scan disk. If not, the one provided had the same quality b/c u can't tell the difference. Anyway, you can use whatever u want with this, just replace it and use what u want and use the one it comes with for something else or as backup .

This scanner must be used with the base. If you connect the base via a usb to your tablet or router, you can make it work that way.

I guess I'll just manually scan those on my flatbed then, no big problem :-)

Hello, you can use the Scan Disk, this is what I purchased and it works beautifully! http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=scan+disk

No I don't believe so. In my opinion, this is a pretty basic scanner. Worth the money but needs more features.

Is it necessary to have a computer if you have one of these scanners? What is the purpose?

You really should ask lowrance that question. Call their customer support that would be your best bet.

I believe that there is software that comes with the unit that allows you to interface with it, but most of the interaction is done with the PC- like an external drive. If you need just a decent basic standalone obd2 device this works fine. I returned it because I did not like the logging feature. I keep my bluetooth obd2 scantool, which I got from amazon for 22bucks or so, got the paid version of the Touchscan app for 10bucks, I think and that combo works very well. There are several laptop based usb ob2 scan tools that you can find as well

You need a usb connection, no blue tooth is needed. The scanner might need formatting to work with your system. Talk to the software company to help you to figure it out. That's what I had to do.
