    I use the PS 22 with an 9 inch screen. I got as excited about this tech as the guys now all agog over the Livescope Panoptix. I use to find forward Vu to find the fish. The down vu to actually fish with.

    I will admit that updating my software to run panoptix was super frustrating and was a PAIN IN THE A$$..... But once I finally got it up and running it really help put us on the fish! I rarely keep my limit and usually throw most of the fish I catch away but we just absolutely pounded the panfish this weekend and we all decided that we were going to put some fish in the freezer. Thanks Garmin!

    That is odd. I think Garmin has the easiest path to upgrade. I have had lots of trouble with Humminbird upgrades in the past. But anyway nice job on the fish.
