No I wouldn't want to split my Livescope sceen, I need to see.the full scree. I've been using only a single Garmin unit up front for the last 18 months. Livescope tells me e everything. I have used split screen with mapping less than a handful of times when moving between brushpiles. I really don't see down imaging being needed with Livescope as I have better down View with Livescope IMO. Now I really love my side, down and mapping at the console. Most who have Garmin at the console are not too happy with the side imaging.
