Any of you guys have any experience with both platforms?
What I am having trouble with, is the GPS is only accurate on my Garmin units while the boat is moving. Once you stop, they seem to lose their orientation and heading, and more the less just spin. While moving I can hit my waypoints and get the transducer over what I have marked, but unless I throw out a buoy, once I stop to actually start fishing, I have no idea where stuff is in relation to the boat.
What I am wanting is to be able to see what is around or ahead of me while I am fishing. All of the videos I see of people using Livescope, is pretty much them watching schools of fish live and video game fishing by continually watching the screen. I don't really care for that... I would just like to know "ok, my tree is at the 2:00 position in front of my boat, 20 feet out". For that I'm thinking that the 360 is more of a fit BUT reading forums, it seems to be the general consensus that it only really is effective in 6 feet or less water. And I rarely fish that shallow. I've not saw much in the way of the different modes/views of Livescope so it could potentially do what I want.
