The one on the right will do arches since a fish will be within its sonar coverage long enough have it recorded that way. That does not happen with the Imaging technology.
Helix 12 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G3N and G4N, 1198c SI, SOLIX 10 SI G3, Helix 8 MEGA SI+ GPS G4N, SOLIX 12 SI and G3, MEGA 360, MEGA LIVE TL, RC-1

The fish will be somewhat look like dots or steaks cause those units are down imaging units (each brand has its own name for the high frequency down viewing sonar). and the down imaging beam is wide and thin and not a cone shape like 2d sonar that produces arches. The higher the frequency the better the detail.

here is a combo from hummingbird units. You can see the difference from 2d and down image. The fish in the down image are long streaks due to the slow boat movement

The fish in the down image are long streaks due to the slow boat movement Never seen anything like that on any of mine... maybe I don't have them adjusted right. Ugh, I don't know anything about them... the learning curve is real right now... Thanks for the information though, much appreciated.
