RNLI launches Float to Live campaign as Gen Z underestimate coastal risk
RNLI research suggests Gen Z are taking coastal risks, prompting fresh Float to Live safety advice ahead of a busy…
Garmin International have announced the launch of Panoptix LiveScope – a live scanning sonar that gives anglers higher resolution and easier-to-interpret images of structure, bait and fish swimming below and around the boat than before. Garmin’s Panoptix sonar technology delivered live sonar images in real time – forwards, backwards, sideways and below the boat – even while stationary. Now, thanks to the active scanning capabilities of Panoptix LiveScope, anglers can see images and movement so clear and precise that it’s even possible to distinguish between species of fish.
Like other Garmin Panoptix transducers, LiveScope features two modes in one transducer – LiveScope Down and LiveScope Forward – and can be installed on a trolling motor or the transom (recommended only for LiveScope Forward). Depending on the angler’s fishing preferences and techniques, LiveScope can easily be adjusted to change views. LiveScope is also equipped with an attitude heading reference system (AHRS) that constantly adjusts sonar beams to compensate for boat motion, so that even in rough conditions, anglers will still see a steady sonar image.
