Kbert11712 Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 So, I want to get into the newest technology in sonar and I'm torn between Garmin Livescope and Lowrance Active Target. Anyone with either, or both, of these units care to help me with my decision? I have all Lowrance sonar on the boat right now. (Reveal 5 & 7) I will also be using this for the hardwater as well. Thanks in advance. Peace and tight lines. Quote
Kbert11712 Posted March 4, 2022 Author Posted March 4, 2022 And I'm aware that the Reveal units I ha e won't support Active Target. Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted March 4, 2022 Super User Posted March 4, 2022 I would get the Lowrance if you are already familiar with the way they work. That's just me though, I put Shimano reels on Shimano rods because I'm OCD like that. Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted March 4, 2022 Global Moderator Posted March 4, 2022 Garmin is the trend setter in this category , the rest are using Garmins old technology. 2 Quote
Super User Bird Posted March 4, 2022 Super User Posted March 4, 2022 It's like cell phones, get what you're use to using. I've owned nothing but Garmin and certain that'll be my next unit. Quote
Super User GaryH Posted March 4, 2022 Super User Posted March 4, 2022 Garmin hands down if your going for live. I’m a Bird fan but if and when I decide to add live to my boat it will be Garmin. Quote
HaydenS Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 Garmin, the new update made livescope so clear. Compared to other units, garmin is the clearest. 1 Quote
InfantryMP Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 When I looked up the differences etc between AT and LiveScope, there was a pretty good argument that was made that Lowrance AT can see further out in multiple videos comparing the two FFS. I went with AT because I had new HDS units so it made sense. Quote
