Garmin has panoptix and livescope.
Lowrance releasing the HDS Live units with LiveSight and Active Imaging.
HB extended the MegaSI range and bringing dual band transducer to close that previous deficiency.
So what’s up RM’s sleeve?

Doesn’t Raymarine have 3D imaging?
I would like to see live imaging

I heard that were not going to support any of the tours next year, which tells me they are giving up on the fresh water market.
Fake news!!!
So tell me more about the 3D. Are there reviews and images available? How does it translate to improved bass fishing? The only thing I’ve read about 3D was it was a bust for Lowrance. Folks there were using it for the better side imaging and not the 3D aspect.
Search google and YouTube.
LOL 3D imaging. Does anyone actually use this after they play with it the first week?
So don’t come to this forum to inquire about it from actual users?
Way to keep traffic on your board Mr. Moderator.
Not sure, I don't own a Raymarine though they look like they have nice units. I just bought a Helix Gen2 and it has a nice feature where it gives you completely random depth readings. Pretty much a "game changer"
No, there is video and reviews on there!!
I do on new bodies of water. Just as in the old days when you would go over a tree and you thought it was a brush pile and less you spent a lot of time go around it with 2D sonar and markers, now you can get a much better picture with one pass with side scan. The 3D does the same of the side and down, giving a even better look at what’s going on.
I have posted my views on here many time for folks to just tell me I’m wrong.
There is lots of good footage out there on it , decide for yourself.
So back to the original question since I’m buying a new boat in early 2019 and doing my electronics research now, is there anything big coming from Raymarine in this market relative to the competition?
If 3D is it, that’s fine, just not a selling factor for me.
Don't know the answer other than I suppose they're due
Raymarine has a 3 year warranty, they don’t force you to upgrade a year or two when your unit breaks, they repair it, up to 10 years after the last manufacturer if date.
If they do come out with something new most likely you’ll be able to add it to your unit and not have to seek and by the newest units.
Cant comment on what might be coming, only with what they put out in the media.
Do you want to spend your money on a unit that you can keep and grow with with updates OS or do you want to be buying a newer unit ever other year to stay current?

Not supporting freshwater??? Not the case.
Don’t assume that not giving free product or paying pros has anything to do with interest or product for a market...
Raymarine is different because it has AHRS gyro stabilization - short answer is that it takes the typical wave action that translates to a jagged or distorted bottom out and gives a true picture of bottom.
3D is another view and another tool. No view is perfect in every situation, but it is another view that is useful.
If views like this are helpful with your fishing - great. If that’s not what you are looking for then 3D probably won’t help out.
Feel free to ask ask any other questions.
