Anyone know if Garmin is coming out with their version of 360 imaging? Have Garmin everything else and will wait to pull the trigger if they have a plan to release one. If not I have no choice but to go with a Bird.
Yes I plan on calling Garmin later when they open. Was just wondering if any rumors are out there.

I highly doubt it, as when you use the livescope in perspective mode it's a live version of the same thing. Here is a clip I made a while ago fishing a boat ramp in perspective mode.

Disregard. Just got them on the phone and they have no plans on releasing one. Looks like Birds the word.

No offense intended- I do not know if you've seen a quality 360 image, but that perspective mode video looks horrible compared to what Mega 360 shows. Mega 360 imho is one of 3 things Bird got right. Mapping, SI, and 360 are all excellent with Bird. MegaLive, however, is trash.

I have live running to a designated 12 volt 3 feet away from the transducer and its plenty good.

perspective mode is horrible. I have tried with a LV32 and a 54. Just no comparison at all to the 360 mega. I want the 360 but just cant justify having another screen and junk up front. I can see how ppl get lost in the electronics. "gotta have it all".

Will not have to run additional wires seeing how I just need to tie into my existing Echo Map setup however will need a new mount situation to accommodate another screen up there. Will be cluttered for sure.

I have live running to a designated 12 volt 3 feet away from the transducer and its plenty good. Honestly just my experience. I fish mostly offshore structure. I had a 12" Helix with Mega360 that was awesome and waited what seemed like a couple years for the Live ducer to become available. During that time I saw LVS32 images and would've been thrilled to get that. After hours of internet study and trying different settings over a few month period I gave up. Bought a 12' Garmin and LVS34 and it is lightyears ahead of Bird Live straight out of the box. Happy you were able to get a satisfactory performance out of it.
