    Will there be a Garmin Turret?

    I don't suppose anyone might have any information of the possibility of Garmin making something analogous to the HB Target Lock? I'd prefer to have the LS default to the trolling motor movements while at the same time having the ability to switch out and have it be independent while my Ultrex is spot locked. It seems like HB is the only system with that capability currently and I'd assume it'd be impossible to pair a LVS34 with that target lock unit.

    Livescope has been out to way to long for Garmin to not develop a turret....

    Honestly, I've never seen anyone who is really great at scope who uses a turret, unless their turret has an additional separate transducer. I just don't think it's a high demand product for a lot of anglers.

    I do think it's possible to run LVS34 on the megalive turret. You just have to have a megalive as well running somewhere to dummy the system into thinking it is using that.

    I can tell you that it's a damn hard to beat advantage when fishing in big winds!! I have my LVS34 on my trolling motor and absolutely smash the fish with my setup, but give me a tourney with big winds when scope is the ticket and we're taking my tourney partners boat b/c he has the Live Turret and we can stay on the fish while spot locked! There's no comparison! My next boat will have two complete LiveScope setups. One with the transducer on the trolling motor and a second one with the transducer on a turret! It's worth every penny!

    I can tell you as an aluminum boat owner (which I love) the scope can be a struggle in winds or current and especially when on spot lock it's near useless on the trolling motor. A HM style turret would be awesome for an aluminum boat on spot lock. My Force rotates that head NON stop in wind and waves so the scope it's useless then
