New Garmin Electronics

The 360 imaging seems pretty similar to Humminbird's. The motorized pole seems neat, but I don't know about $2000 neat. If you have the cash to put the whole system together, it would be pretty cool, but these prices nowadays are staggering.

I think I'll be sticking with what I have, but it's always neat to see the latest and greatest.

I've wanted to do a DIY motorized pole by taking an older auto-pilot trolling motor, removing the head, and mounting the transducer on the pole. Open water I could independently control the direction Livescope is pointed and potentially use the auto-pilot feature to keep it pointed in the direction I want while the boat drifts, turns, etc. Just haven't gotten around to it yet!

I'd be curious as to how this would work for you.

Hoping to get to it this summer - I'll post here if I get it up and running

You pussies that use Livescope or something similar are cheaters.

Hope your motor falls off.

Nah, Livescope scares the fish. I prefer weights in fish.....
