Can’t decide between these two innovative live sonar systems from Garmin? No worries. We’ll break it down for you.
When it comes to elevating your fishing game, having the right technology can make all the difference. Whether you’re a seasoned angler looking to upgrade the products on your boat or a beginner eager to explore the difference Garmin marine electronics can make with your fishing experience, choosing the right sonar system can improve your results on the water.
With game-changing live sonar tech, you can identify fish before you even get a nibble and better understand what’s going on beneath the water’s surface. The LiveScope™ and Panoptix™ live sonar systems provide anglers unparalleled views of the underwater world and the ability to see fish and structures in real time.
But which type of live sonar is best for you? While both are powerful tools, there are a few key differences. Read on to get the answers you need to better understand the differences between LiveScope and Panoptix and help you catch more fish, faster.
Resolution
The first thing you’ll want to do is decide your priorities. If resolution is the most important, LiveScope is for you. The LiveScope system transducers produce impressive high-definition resolution, allowing anglers to know exactly what’s happening under the water. The detail is so clear, in fact, that you can see the fins on a fish, determine which direction it’s headed and gauge how far away it is. You can even identify different species of fish in great detail — enough that you can tell where your fish may be looming in real time.
Coverage Range
If range is more your jam, go for Panoptix. Known for its exceptionally long coverage range, the Panoptix PS70 can cover up to 1,000’. This allows you to catch fish at deep levels, making it a prime sonar option for deep-sea fishing.
Transducers
When choosing your LiveScope or Panoptix, you’ll notice a variety of transducers that come with each product. If you want to learn more about our transducers, navigate to our boat sonar transducer webpage.
Target Separation
For starters, it’s helpful to know what target separation is — the smallest distance a sonar needs to tell two objects apart. Think of a fish hanging near a structure.
With a LiveScope system, anglers receive remarkable target separation, so they know exactly what they’re working with.
