    The perfect LiveScope would be incorporated into the Garmin Force trolling motor, with the capability of spot-locking onto a specific fish so you would not have to touch the trolling motor again until you either catch it or want to lock onto another fish/target. Hands free LiveScoping would be the ultimate catching tool.

    I would like to be able to see right and left SI views individually on a split screen combo. Such as right side on top left on the bottom. This would be a plus for those that troll.

    I would like to see Garmin put a LS transducer in the Force trolling motor and add electronic switching to control the individual views. I believe it is possible and it would really make for a clean installation. The downside for the consumer would be the price tag but I'm sure folks would buy it.

    You may already know but you can sleep one device if you want to save power.

    The ability to view Mercury engine data in a combo screen for Echomap Ultra units. I purchased a Mercury Smartcraft Connect thinking I would be able to view engine data, map and depth information on the same 12-inch screen. Right now, you can only view engine data as a full screen, preventing access to other important information while running to the next location.

    Thanks Bill, I wasn't aware that some engine data could be displayed as an overlay so that helps. I was looking for the ability to create a combo screen that displays Mercury VesselView info. There is an image on Garmin's Mercury Integration page that displays this option on a GPSMap unit.

    The ability to follow contours using Garmin MFDs communicating with Garmin Reactor auto pilot systems!

    This really should be relatively easy to accomplish in a system where a Garmin MFD is networked to a Garmin auto pilot system considering this functionality has been available for years with Hummingbird graphs networked to Minn Kota trolling motors.

    I for one do not believe that Hummingbird MFDs and Minn Kota trolling motors are more advanced than Garmin MFDs and auto pilot systems.

    C’mon Garmin, you can do this.

    My wife asks if I'm going to fish every day. I can't fish every day. Some days I might be sick.

    I was afraid of that. So our only hope is Garmin gets better lawyers or we need to hope we’re still kickin in 2031.

    Also it's all in the money. How much does a company want for the right for another company to use what is contained in a patent and how much is that company willing to pay. Sometimes they work it out.

    Garmin's workaround is for the user to create a route that happens to be on a contour and then their software can follow the route. An easier process to create a route would help mitigate this.

    I have this on my Pronav Marine attached to a Minnkota, follow a route drawn over a Navionics Map and selecting points over a contour line. It also has spotlock.

    Not a new feature but an old one they stopped offering

    should have a settings option to save each trip/day as a separate track automatically like the old units use too

    The ability to text coordinates and waypoints from one active captain account to another and transfer them to your UHD.
