Until users post video or pictures nobody really knows how well it works... 360 views dont look like all the advertisement pictures do. Yep. Exactly. Using it to catch crappie off a stump thats 6 in front of you is a little different than using it to locate and catch bass. How so? The last 2 tournaments I have fished I was exclusively fishing giant submerged stumps along a river channel, most of which are not visible above the water line. Some have fish on them, most don't. It's like picking cherries. Are you using livescope?

Until Garmin steps up their mapping and side imaging and the livescope shows me guaranteed bass at a distance, I'll stick with humminbird

 Already a pizzing match and hardly anyone has been anywhere near one yet. Hitch a ride with someone that says theirs can do the same thing, tx2, and then we can set up a date and let you decide for yourself.

I fished With Alton jones, and saw his pan optix and Hummingbird 360 isnt even on the same planet. I had Dual 12s mega with 360 and its no where close to pan optix.
On the flip side, Garmins side scan is nowhere near Hummingbird mega
You have to be trained to see what your looking at. He obviously looks at them much more. Best way I can describe it is like 2D video game fishing that we can all do but 30 in front of the boat

If any of y'all are ever in SE Kansas or somewhere near the area I would be happy to meet and take you out for a couple hours. I've been using livescope for several months now and it keeps impressing me more every time I use it. I will also be in east Texas around Veteran's Day if anyone wants to hop on board and take a look see. SE Kansas grass grower

[quote=coachallentca][quote=rj74955][quote=tx2va07] [quote=Jeff From Iowa]Until users post video or pictures nobody really knows how well it works... 360 views dont look like all the advertisement pictures do. Agreed that garmin mapping is lacking on some lake. If its a max def lake it's good but if not a max def max then it sucks.
