Once you’ve seen fish in this level of detail in a live, real-time image on your chartplotter, all other sonar is history – literally.” Garmin’s Panoptix Livescope earned the presti- gious “Best of Show” Award as well as the “Best Electronics.” “To not only win the ICAST Best Electronics award, but the Best of Show award, too – it’s an honor we’re incredibly proud of,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “Panoptix LiveScope delivers the best of both scanning and live sonar technologies and there’s nothing out there even close to it. These awards solidify our commitment to giving anglers and mariners the most innovative technology on the water, and they further strengthen our desire to be the top marine electronics brand in the world.” “Panoptix changed the electronics game a cou- ple of years ago,” said Jason Christie, Bassmas- ter Elite Series and Garmin pro. “Now, LiveScope is even taking it to the next level. The cool thing about it is the simplicity of it. What you see is what is there. The only picture that could be better is if you dive into the water with goggles, and I’m not sure that’s really even better.” The Panoptix LiveScope™ scanning sonar system includes a compact GLS 10 sonar black box with a LVS32 transducer and a simple plug-and-play Garmin Marine Network connector for easy instal- lation. This package is compatible with various ex- isting Garmin models including the GPSMAP 7600 series. Available now, be sure to upgrade your electronics with the new Panoptix LiveScope™.
