Thread: Humminbird 360 vs Garmin Livescope

So I am in the process of setting up a new to me Ranger Reata. I will be running all Humminbird units in my boat. That being said do I add the 360 option or has livescope made 360 obsolete? I understand they are kind of apples and oranges when closely compared . Ive watched a ton of youtube videos on each but id like some real world feed back from crappie guys. I plan on doing mostly spider rigging and pulling cranks and jigs. Is there any rumors of Humminbird releasing their own "livescope" in near future? I figure as soon as i drop $2k+ they will come out with something. Thanks for you help!

360 shows all the way around the boat without user input of any kind except glancing at the screen ...

LiveScope requires "aiming" the xducer at the intended target ...

Neither work well at trolling speeds ... but very slow to stationary ...

Decide if you want to see live sonar by "aiming" the LiveScope - or frequent 2-3 second updated sonar and not touching the 360 ...
