    When they first talked about it they said March it will be ready. At least that's what everybody I know, including several dealers understood. Nobody took this date seriously in the first place,...

    Guys and girls, I think after about a month without any info or leak and the "supposed" release date being so close, it's fair to say Humminbird played us. My bet is, there will be no HB Live system...

    I think the biggest issue that they currently face with 3D is data overload and transducer expense. If one would want even just twice as high resolution as the old Panoptix, this would translate to...

    The Garmin patent is not 3D! It's 2.1 D. It can tell whether an object is left or right from center beam. That can be used to color code directional movements or "hunt" an object by turning the...

    360 Mega Live makes no sense. It's just two regular Mega Live. Live quality will never match the actual 360 because the number of transducer elements needed would be insanely costly - plus - it...

    I would certainly wait for HB coming up with something if you're totally brand neutral. Their tech is based on a different principle and has the potential to deliver better images. In terms of maxing...

    It's not as revolutionary as you guys seem to think. It's not fully 3D! It's more like an improved version.

    I think the blueprint ist slightly different tech than just livescope or the new livesight. Look at the half sphere transmitter and flat receiver. Not present in livesight and livescope. Judging from...

    I thought so too at first, but don't think so. SLA does not show these overlapping lines with little polygon surfaces all over the place. It's rather just slightly rough and layered. This looks most...

    The two parts could well be joined. If I interpret the shape correctly, it's a typical multibeam setup with transmitting transducer (the semi-circle) and receiving array (the slim flat part). That's...

    Yeah, might have to take a small Garmin unit and get a new HB separately. Hows the delivery situation of Mega360 currently?

    Yeah,but I'm pretty sure that they aren't going to replace the just released Ultra models. If anything, my money is on 360 or some form of 3D Livescope

    I currently don't really see how Livescope could be improved in a practical sense. Maybe longer range and tighter beam... If I had to bet, I'd wager that a new unit would do some electronic beam...
