Garmin UHD worth it?

[Gc7716]

Currently trying to decide whether to purchase the UHD for down and sidevu. Am running the GT30 and am not that impressed by what I get for down and sidevu currently. I’ve heard mixed reviews and have only seen a handful of screen shots that I can find. Thanks for any help!

What display unit are you running? Iwas less than impressed with my gt30 untill i adjusted the TVG setting to high and it made a huge improvement.

I run a 741xs and 1040xs

Hell I'm wanting to try out a GT30....im not getting any good returns (what I thought I was gonna get) in shallow water with UHD.....

Messing around with it I can see fish (I’m a walleye guy) on open water flats 6-12ft of water and I’m able to target those fish our to about 70ft and see just about everything but I love seeing the little details and I just feel like I’m missing out and was hoping The GT34 would be the answer.

You all care to post some pics. Just got my 2 Echomap Plus 93sv from Gpsstore. Now I gotta decide to invest in UHD or just Livescope and use the second unit at console for mapping only. Keep my Helix 10 megas or sell and buy Gen3.

I'm not using UHD currently as ordinarily I am in deep water. I could be wrong, but when I was using it it seemed to have a sweet spot for the best images. That was 20-40 ft to the side. That info may be of little help to anyone since the areas I fish generally have long steep banks instead of flat areas of different depths to shoot across. For my use a combo panel that is not available would have been best. That would be a three panel screen with L to R, Left SideVu, ClearVu, then the Right SideVu. I would have made the ClearVu panel small.

Funny you mentioned the left to right setup with down in the middle as the new AI Lowrance can be set up that way.

Im in the same waters as you. Your right SI is not best for our lakes. But it can be used here and there. I know it wont be probably as good as the helix gen2 I currently have. I dont have to be able to see the scales of the fish. Just be USEFUL all Im wanting :)

I think they have a hidden spy camera on my boat. I did this way back when I had Lowrance but it took 2 units. Left SI on HDS8. Down and Right SI on HDS10. They've probably paid Google to spy through my phone when I'm usiing AC since the data and WiFi connection both work at the same time. Google knows everything I do.
