Yeah... Garmin ain't worried. The image quality is pretty bad, IMHO. 

 

The ducer is a grand. If you have Carbon units you'll have to get an additional box.

I imagine Garmin wasn’t worried from the get go. Garmin licensed the technology to Lowrance and by the looks of it they didn’t give them everything. ?

They did? Where have you seen this?

I read it on another site under the Lowrance or Garmin section.

Yea...How dare they introduce an optional accessory to provide additional features that customers want? 

 

Even if Livesight isn't on par with the latest Panoptix...There are TONS of Lowrance users out there that now have a relatively cheap and easy option (compared to buying/installing an entire Garmin unit + Panoptix) to add this feature....With the added bonus that the unit with Livesight will part of the existing Lowrance network on their boats and not isolated like it would be with a standalone Garmin unit to run the tech.  

 

Not bad for a first attempt...Once they are officially released and 'real' people can starting using/reviewing we'll know exactly how well it stacks up to Garmin.
