A Big Little Fishfinder.

DualBeam Plus

Get the best of both worlds, with selectable narrow and wide beams you can view individually, or melded into one display. A precision 20° beam provides high accuracy returns of fish, structure, and bottom profile. The wider 60° beam provides greater coverage for fish and bait fish. You can view the two beams separately, side by side, or blended together for the most complete picture.

Switchfire Sonar

When you hit the water, you don't limit yourself to one bait. So why limit your sonar? Exclusive Humminbird SwitchFire Sonar gives you the power to choose how returns are displayed. With two unique modes, you have complete control to adjust with the fishing conditions, making our down-looking sonar an even more valuable fishfinding tool.

Split Screen Zoom

Split Screen Zoom increases the displayed resolution to separate sonar returns that are very close together. In this view, the display is split to show a narrow slice of the full range view on the right and the zoomed view on the left. The zoom preview box on the right tracks the bottom in the full range view.

Instant Image Update

As the boat moves through the water, the sonar chart updates in real time to show the latest information on the sonar screen. A real time sonar (RTS) window shown on the right side of the display always updates at the fastest rate possible for depth conditions.

The included UniMap covers the continental U.S. coastline, inland lakes, and rivers at 30 meters per pixel resolution.

Freeze Frame/Structure Marking

Pressing any arrow on the four-way cursor control instantly stops the sonar graphic display to allow a closer inspection of submerged structure, bait fish, and underwater contours. Movable cursor feature allows you to instantly discern depth of any sonar return and mark waypoints from the sonar screen for navigation. Pressing the EXIT key will exit the freeze frame and the display will start to resume scrolling. Mark the location of fish-attracting structure, bottom transitions, or any feature anywhere on traditional sonar with the Sonar Cursor.

Selective Fish ID+

Fish ID+ uses advanced sonar processing to interpret sonar returns, and displays a Fish Symbol when very selective requirements are met. When a fish is detected, a fish icon and its depth are displayed above the return that has been classified as being a fish. Three different fish icons represent intensity of the sonar return, and provide an indicator of relative fish size.

Real Time Sonar (RTS) Window

A Real Time Sonar (RTS) Window appears on the right side of the display in the Sonar View only. The RTS Window always updates at the fastest rate possible and shows only the returns from the bottom, structure, and fish that are within the transducer beam. The RTS window can be displayed as narrow (standard), wide, or off.

TreuArch Technology

Many competitive sonar products commonly use post processing software to "enhance" the arching effect produced when suspended targets enter and leave a sonar beam. This additional processing can slow down performance and exaggerate the information displayed. Humminbird�s TrueArch Technology utilizes parallel processing of sonar data to eliminate unwanted interference and noise and reveal unaltered sonar echoes resulting in true arches of fish targets. This helps anglers more quickly discern the size and depth of fish targets.

Built-In U.S. UniMap

The included UniMap covers the continental U.S. coastline, inland lakes, and rivers at 30 meters per pixel resolution. UniMap gives you an accurate chart almost anywhere you travel in the United States.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Value December 15, 2009

Edition:Color with GPS|Amazon Verified Purchase

The Hummingbird 385CI Combo is a great value for the money. It replaced my sonar only unit and the GPS features were most welcome. It performs well and is relatively easy to use. Instructions for installation could stand some clarification. And, GPS map upgrades are too expensive as currently offered.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I needed August 31, 2011

By D_link

Edition:B&W with GPS|Amazon Verified Purchase

It was this unit or a side scanner sonar without GPS, I so made the right choice. I have an 18 foot four winns freedom and mounted this over the cup holder on the drivers side. I trailer my boat all over from lake to lake here in Michigan so having the GPS (built in) with a waypoint marking to find the boat launch has been priceless. The built in lake maps are a nice feature so there is no added expence. I also love the fact that I can do 35 and still read accurate bottom depths in 120 feet of water. Finding fish is easy with fish ID and it beeps when it finds some so you don't even have to watch it for it to alert you. My wife likes the water tempture feature so she knows how cold it is before jumping in the water. I thought I would not like the black and white as much as color but the resolution is good on this and it is easy to make out the bottom. The quick view change is very helpfull so you can see large views for people with bad eyes like myself. I would buy this again in a secound.

4.0 out of 5 stars 345c is a winner! February 27, 2010

By Juan B. Trinidad

Edition:Color

My old FF had some problems, its fixed now. But in the spur of the FF-less moment, I pulled the trigger on a Humminbird 345C.

I wasn't expecting much. I just wanted a replacement. How different can they be given the the 300 series is lower in the hierarchy vs my older 500 series 565.

I was pleasantly surprised. The 345C thing is way more capable that my older 'bird.

First, it has more wattage. The 565 had 250 watts, the 345C arrived with 300.

The 345C has less resolution 340x240 vs 640 x 320 for the 565. However, I am definite that I am seeing more detail on the screen. This is probably attributable to the fact that the 565 only has Dual beam, while the 345C has Dual Beam Plus (DBP). DBP which allows use of individual frequencies. 200khz shows mucho detail compared to running 200 and 83 khz at the same time.

Also, 'bird put in a new technology called Switchfire for 2010. It supposed to enhance the amount of stuff on the screen. It seems 'bird took out the filtering that I felt I was getting with my old 565. I can say that its much more sensitive than their old technology. You can still switch from old to new by selecting "clear" vs. "max" which is Switchfire ON :) Comparitively, my old 565 always ran on full sensitivity to get it to show good detail. The 345c shows more than enough detail at 11, or one click over 50% power. At that level, I am getting really nice fish arch images on the screen.

I never really thought that color was a feature that I wanted to pay for. But the color screen on the 345C helps a lot. This is especially noticeable when you select the blue background option. In black and white, weak signals where a light grey over lcd grey. In the blue color option, the weak signals are a light green while the background is a dark blue. The bait really stands out this way :) It also helps that the blue background option makes it look like a Lowrance HDS unit :).

I have to say, I can't be happier. I feel like I got back the sensitivity that I always thought I had using Garmin :)

Additonal features include Freeze Frame, Split Screen between 200 and 83 khz and a quick view button to jog thru various view options.

I just hope it doesn't fog up like my old 'bird FF.

The 345C is a winner!
