Another day out on my Garmin 840XS, Depth Range Shading, NMEA2000, down view/Sonar

I sure would like to see some more down imaging pics. Mapping looks good but I am more interested in the sonar. Thanks

Bloodman, when time is right I'll take some more pics. These were just initial pics I took idling out of an area I've never been before. I don't fish Lay that much but have a friend down that way. Mapping is the most critical part how I use my electronics. The Sonar is close second but and what I've seen so far at a minimum is equal to better then my time spent on both Hummingbirds 1197 days and HDS8 and HDS7 ownership. I'm sure going forward this becomes subjective. My 2D sonar is traditional sonar on my Garmin. It's a shoot through hull like most bass boat setups. The SideVu and DownVu is good too. I don't go wow it's better except that I've seen and yet to do myself can shoot out with exceptional clarity at 400' on each side of the boat. I don't work for Garmin so if I think of it and figure out the mechanics I'll try setup my unit to shoot as far out on each side and snap a pic. I'm quite happy with what I have now and is what I've been looking for that meets my expectations.

Thanks deep. Always interested in this stuff and like to see whats out there. I have no need to change my setup from what I have but like to see where the electronics world is heading.
