That oculus is awesome. Hope they did partner with them!

The images everyone was raging about were in fact Oculas and not Humminbird.
An Oculas transducer cost upwards of 25k.

Brian is a good guy. I buy my stuff from him too.
However, mark my words, I’ve been telling everyone it will be the 4th quarter of the year since the big Mega live rage was announced.
Sorry, what you see is as good as it gets until Garmin allows them to use their technology. Then Garmin will advance leaving Lowrance and Humminbird with table scraps from old technology. Compare transducer of Bird and Lowrance. Look similar?
Garmin could buy and sell both of those companies 10 times over.
That may happen too.
Johnny Morris is a perfect example.
Again, just my opinion. Everyone has one.
Thanks,
Chuck

This is gospel ? ? You get your info from where ? I mean you say "mark my words" so where does your insider information come from?

We can just leave it with “just my opinion” “everyone has one”

Personally I'm not all that brand loyal , I look at what I think my money will be best spent on and what I want and go from there. Currently have a dual stack on the bow of my boat with a 12" German on top and HB 10" helix on bottom , each serve a purpose . When and if some electronics company come out with something that WOWs me more then what I have I'll go check with wife to get the OK on new play pretties !

I'm sure that image quality will be greatly improved in future models ( not sure if it will be new transducer technology or Head unit resolution ) guess only time will tell but I think it's safe to say based on the constant progression of ALL electronics some exciting stuff is still to come. ( assuming you get excited by this sort of stuff ) I like seeing fish on electronics and the whole new world of information that LIVE sonars bring to the table so personally I'll be eager to see what's next .
, whoever come up with it !!


Just wish I had bought some Garmin stock two years ago

The best SI sonar I’ve ever personally seen was a Klein 4900 on a search and recovery boat. I think the sonar unit was around 30 grand.
Don’t know if that included the software. The screen was 32 inch.
I sure the davit used to lower it in the water was extra. Recovery made with it in over 1500 feet of water.
Still had to run 3-6 mph to get best image.
Guess my point is, the technology has been around for a good long time but companies haven’t been able to produce them so they are affordable for recreational use.

Yes.

So if I buy a new g4n, and hook up mega live, can I still network an original 360 to it??
