Hmmm... so a 360 view of what's around your boat - in 3D.  Interesting.

Pretty soon these things will catch the fish for you.

You could attach the transducer to your powerpole and see what's underground.

Lowrance counters with a drain.

Seriously, looks pretty cool!

That is amazing technology.  you could actually see your bait being retrieved like a video game.   EA sports will partner with Hummingbird to make the Xbox version.   LOL

Looks like an underwater version of a radar display.  It is the next logical step to di and si.

What I find interesting, that piques my curiosity is that the shadow of the standing timber in the lower left quadrant is twofold.  The weaker, like all other sonar images is cast away from the center of the display, while a bolder shadow is cast toward the top of the display, as though the signal was generated from the bottom of the image rather than the center.

Looking at the image again, there is a third "shadow" halfway between the other two.

Now that is cool for a DI unit!

[Pete-K]

You buy this at MSRP $1,999.00 and download the update for the older units and your set. Not sure where these guys are going to put this. That has a power poles on the back LOL

Those shadows are probably caused by reverberations which could come from any direction.................Al
