    8410XSV GT40 GT15 PS30 Screenshots & videos

    Here are a few screenshots and videos with my new 8410XSV setup.
    Some SV photos are to show the range of the GT40 witch will reach 220' IMO without loosing too much detail,,,
    The videos are to show the refresh rate of the map at speeds witch is F'N ultra fast compaired to my 1042. The maps were bretty much bang on 80% of the time in this reservoir.
    One video to show how the PS30 handles a small jig in 80 FOW, 1/2oz jig head and a 2,5 inch plastic bait.
    I would say that the PS30 is better suited for jigging 10 feet deep or more.
    Overall I'm happy with the unit, only a couple of issues,
    1, The unit will not shut down if I don't stop all sonar transmission before I hit the power off button, it only shuts down to the Garmin screen and freezes there..
    2, the steady cast always has around a 15 deg offset even with a cal of 80 or more, i'm running V2.20 on the steady cast
    Thanks for your comments.
    Fish on!!!

    After you did the calibration, did you do either the Auto Heading Alignment or manually adjust the Fine Heading Alignment?
    My wife asks if I'm going to fish every day. I can't fish every day. Some days I might be sick.

    My heading alignment also drifts over time. After the alignment procedure, GPS and SteadyCast (and handheld compass) are in agreement and stays in alignment for a random period of time. This problem has existed for many users for some time now, Garmin really needs to correct the issue.

    Thanks for putting this together. The side view videos look really nice IMO.

    I did the auto heading alignment, it would last about a couple of hrs and then gave me an error on heading.
