Garmin unveils Ultra High-Definition scanning sonar

gotta bet that Lowrance will have a Garmin-style “ForwardVu” option to compete with Humminbird’s 360 soon, too.

as far as how it compares to Humminbird’s SI/DI MEGA? looks about the same to me.

Sounds cool but I won’t be buying another unit untill It will show me what is 100 yards in front of the boat at WOT on a 7″ screen or larger for under $800. So hopefully in a few years.

Well what I am hoping for is echomap 73SV UHD bundle. Will add ice bag and panoptix. This would make for a good all around unit. To make it great, it needs to be able to control and electric trolling motor(like I-Link) and work with a controller for a regular kicker(trollmaster/panther). I will keep dreaming but if the bundle comes out, I am in!
