Updated Features:
Support for MEGA Live Imaging™:
- Get must-watch detail and non-stop action. MEGA Live Imaging is a powerful sonar technology that will help you find and catch more fish. Connect to any SOLIX or APEX model and you'll see fish in real-time, allowing you to learn what makes the fish want to bite.
- With no gaps in sonar coverage and industry-leading MEGA Imaging clarity throughout the entire view, you’ll see more fish, in greater detail than ever before.
- Find where the action is. Mark and view waypoints right on your MEGA Live Imaging screen and return to the spot later.

Support for 30% / 70% split screen views:
- Vertical split-screen views can now be changed form a 50/50 split to a 30/70 split.
- This can be done with any application combination with the following rules:
- The Video In/Out pane is not supported.
- Instrument Views and the RADAR view only support 50/50 split.
- Side-Imaging, 360 Imaging, and MEGA Live must go into 50% and 70 % panes. They cannot go into 30% panes. This means that Chart, 2D, and DI are available for the 30% pane.
