This has probably been covered, however, in order to operate live scan. Is the Garmin with accompanying transducer the only option ? Adaptable to my unit, Lowrance HDS 8 Gen 2 ? Any and all threads welcome, thanking you in advance for your responses.

Any and all threads welcome, thanking you in advance for your responses. For today, it is the only option. I understand Lowrance is coming out with their live scope version this month. And no doubt Garmin is working on Rev2 of Livescope. I believe It'll be tough to leapfrog Garmin, once they're so far behind. Maybe in a few generations, they'll catch up. Tim

Lowrance is to start shipping their LiveSight transducer in April. From what I am seeing from the video, LiveSight Down will be in real time, LiveSight Forward appears to be the 1st version of Garmin's Panoptix which is 2D sonar. Pay close attention to the down and forward description in the video.

Will the new Livesight be compatible with my HDS8 gen 1? Or will I have to buy one of these fancy new HDS Live units?
