[QUOTE="Gr8tz, post: 368535, member: 2363"] I was in the same position at the beginning of ice fishing season this year and decided that I would purchase forward facing sonar and sense I had bird products in my boat I would go with Mega Live. Right from the get go I was having issues with it not recognizing the transducer and wouldn't until the unit warmed up for five or so minutes and after that it would glitch every couple minutes. the other issue i was having is the transducer has water sensors on it and in cold temps those sensors would freeze and say Mega Live out of water. I was fine dealing with those issues but after a month and a half of use the ethernet cable from the transduce split and frayed and had to be sent in for a replacement and was just fed up with it. I talked with one of the main fishing guys at Scheels and he was not surprised and and was able to get it returned for me and got me set up with Garmin. With all that being said I'm sure it would be a different story if it is only being used in the boat, and I understand wanting to stay with one brand of graph but like the others have said Hummingbird is the inferior brand in the forward facing sonar market.
