    I don’t have time to type it all out, but compared to a vex, Marcum or bird, it offers way more connectivity and features. Mapping your right, I run my lowrance for that only.

    Ok, now that you ommited Lowrance from the "any unit on the market", it makes more sense, cuz even an HDS Gen3 or Elite Ti has all those features and more, aside from Live, which you can get in a Live or Carbon (that are currently on the market) and in a few days) Elite FS

    So, "any unit on the market" is more like--a conventional mechanical flasher, that only does 2D, or Humminbird units that don't have touchscreen or WiFi....and no current option to add a Live tech peripheral....?

    I don't think even official Garmin pro staffers have ever promoted their 2D as a selling feature. They tend to focus on Livescope....for obvious reasons.

    Lowrance, bird or garmin all make more sense and have more features than a dedicated flasher. Sorry I’m not up on the pro staff methods. I’m not a pro staffer. Just a guy who appreciates good gear.
