Garmin Panoptix

Jeg har akkurat rukket å få en forståelse for hvordan Simrad ForwardScan fungerer, og så kommer Garmin med noe som ser enda litt kulere ut. :)

Panoptix

Panoptix
Ved hjelp av en innebygget AHRS-sensor i egne ekkoloddgivere som enten kan monteres på frontmotert elemotor eller aktermonteres, hevder Garmin at deres Panoptix skal fungere både når båten er i bevegelse og når den ligger stille. I motsetning til Simrads ForwardScan er Panoptixs også beregnet på å se etter fisk, og hvis praksis er noe som helst i nærheten av markedsføringen er konseptet meget spennende for både trolling-, vertikal- og spinnfiske.

Den aktermonterte giveren ser slik ut og heter PS30.

Varianten for å montere på elmotor ser slik ut og heter PS31:

Ekkoloddgiverne som brukes er alt annet enn billige, men det er egentlig ganske forståelig med tanke på at de både må ha tidligere nevnte sensor og at det sannsynligvis ligger en hel del utviklingstimer bak dette. Med en pris i USA på 1.499,- USD kan vi fort forvente oss at de kommer til å koste 15.000,- her på berget. Men det er veldig positivt at systemet visstnok er kompatibelt ikke bare med de nyeste og mest fancy modellene fra Garmin. Listen over kompatible enheter er:
  • EchoMap 70s og 70dv
  • GPSMAP 741 og hele veien opp i modellrekken av xs og xsv.
  • 8000-serien
EchoMap 70s er den billigste av disse og har en veiledende pris i Norge på 9.999,- Ta en kikk på filmen under, den er er rå:

Forventet leveringsstart er våren 2015, så her må du smøre deg med litt tålmodighet hvis du kjenner at pengene har lyst til å hoppe ut fra bankkontoen din. Alle bildene er fra Garmins egen info: http://sites.garmin.com/en-US/panoptix/

The perfect settings for Lowrance? A guide on how to set up your 2D-sonar part I.

Perhaps the most repeated question in Facebookgroups and forums regarding marine electronics: "What are the best settings?" The bad news is that there is no uniform answer to that. The good news is that you can adjust settings according to conditions if you have a little knowledge as to what settings you should tweak and why. Here is part 1 of our guide to get the most out of your unit in regards to settings.

What is the difference between HDS Carbon and HDS Live?

Here we go again, a new generation of the Lowrance HDS. And with that Facebook and the different forums are flooded with questions referring to the difference between the new and the old. So what is the difference between Lowrance HDS Live and HDS Carbon?

Lowrance Elite Ti2 versus Elite FS

  When Lowrance launches a new mid-range unit, it is a big deal. Forums and Facebookgroups light up with questions on the new stuff, differences towards the old stuff and questions on compatibility. As usual, we in Team Colibri will try our best to sort that out, both on a technical level and with a more practical in-your-boat approach.

What is the difference between Lowrance HDS Live and Elite Ti2?

Lowrance as a brand of marine electronis is well known to all anglers, but the differences within their range of different models seem to cause quite a few questions out there. Here we will try to outline the difference between Lowrance HDS Live (top end) and Lowrance Elite Ti2 (middle range). Lowrance Elite Ti2 vs Lowrance HDS Live (photo; lowrance.com) As usual, we will start with the tech and then try to translate those technical aspects to practical differences while out on the water. Hardware - housing, screen and connections. The screen and housing on Elite Ti2 is the same as on the previous Elite Ti, and again more or less the same as on HDS Gen 2 Touch. (The memorycard-door and mounting-bracket is different from HDS Gen 2 Touch.) This is by no means new stuff, and compared to the more advanced housing and screen on HDS Live, Elite Ti2 is starting to show its relative age. However, with that in mind it is worth noting that when looking at the competition, several of

Lowrance Hook 2 versus Lowrance Hook Reveal

You have to hand it to Lowrance when it comes to the name of their new entry-level line of sonar and chartplotters. We all want to hook up, and what better way to do that then by having our marine electronics reveal to us where the fish are?
