Review of Humminbird 570 DI
| Overall Rating |   |
Humminbird made it very easy to be a smart shopper when they introduced the 500 series. The 570 DI is a perfect example of more bang for your buck. With the Humminbird 570 DI you will be able to fish like a pro regardless of your skill level. The powerful sonar and excellent display leave nothing to the imagination.
Down Imaging on the 570 DI gives you a bird’s eye view underneath the boat. This technology takes the view straight down to provide details of the structure and fish located directly below. The high-powered sonar takes snapshots of the bottom and creates an instant view to aid in your success. Opt for narrow mode to take away the side details and focus only on the view you want to see. Target and track fish as deep as 250ft.
The DualBeam Plus Sonar that comes standard with the 570 DI offers a wide, precise view of the fish and structure. Gain accurate detailed sonar images by viewing the 20 degree beam and expand the width of your bottom profile with the 60 degree beam. Use the beams individually or side by side to locate the fish you want to catch. Combine the beams together to give yourself an ultimate viewing distance of 500ft deep with a width equal to the depth.
With the 570 DI the underwater world comes to life on the high resolution 5” screen. With a 640 X 320 twelve level grayscale display, you are shown each fish and structure in exact detail. Alter your returns based on water and fishing conditions with SwitchFire technology. Opt for max mode to see complete coverage including thermoclines and currents. In rough or shallow water, change the view to clear mode and only display fish and structures. Change the color palette to work with any lighting situation.

4Take advantage of this fish finder by using Down Imaging and Switchfire technology. Using the 570 DI you will be able to see any fish, log, boot, or anything within the units depth limit. Using Down imaging technology you can track a jig down below 60 feet and separate fish that are closer than 3 feet apart. If you are using Down Imaging then the maximum depth is 250 feet. If you go with the normal 2-D then you can see into the water as deep as 1,000 feet. With 300 watts RMS and 2,400 watts peak this thing will get you the images that you need to make your “job” easier.
The 570 DI is very easy to use. Menus are very easy to navigate around. The unit looks nice and works flawlessly. The price is very right for this fishfinder. The features and technology put into the 570 DI makes this a very smart buying decision. My only concern with the 570 DI is that the grayscale display does not look as fancy as color displays.
