Lowrance is the low-cost brand of the range; much of their gear plays well with the other brands. Simrad is the “cruiser” stuff, B&G the “racer” stuff, and Navico does some high-end, more commercial gear. There may be software differences, but in general the ancillary equipment will work about the same across the range.
