I am looking to purchase one of these, and I am looking for feedback on which is better for my type of fishing. I mainly fish docks and deep brush piles. Thank you

Live shows live display so you can see fish which way they are going etc. They absolutely compliment each other. For example 360 in 25’ can show you bait balls at 100’ around your boat then you can turn the tm amd use live normal view to see if there are fish under them eating or not etc. [img]http://[/img]

If it had unlimited funds I would certainly love to have a mega 360 as well, but I had to choose one and went with Garmin for several reasons. As I gain more experience with it I hope to confirm I made the right choice.

Just like computers. You buy the latest greatest and 6 months later it's old tech.
