[QUOTE="REY_off, post: 174266, member: 693"] [COLOR=#333333]"My question for Lowrance --- if garmin lacks that much in clarity, range, appearance and misses -- then why the hell are you spending the big legal fees to sue em. Who is lying??? Looks like i have to look harder at a garmin. " Because "Clear Vu" is the transducer without the downward facing element. The ducer that had a downward facing element is the one that got them in trouble, because they basically stole navico/lowrance's design without licensing it from them. That transducer was sold with units label "Down Vu". They no longer sell units with that ducer, and all the new units are labeled "Clear Vu", but you can still buy the ducer with the down facing element and plug it in and it will work with the new units form what I have read. I think the lawsuit is so that they change the design and make that disputed ducer obsolete. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
