Panoramic fish finding
New picture-like sonar display set to change the way anglers find fistLowrance unveiled its latest sonar technology, the LSS-1 StructureScan sonar-image module, in the US last week and it will be on display at the Sydney International Boat Show at the end of the month.
The company claims a world-first in underwater picture-like displays -- from both side-on and straight down. Anglers will, for the first time, see submerged detail directly beneath their boats without the guesswork involved with most sonar systems and fishfinders.
Navico Asia Pacific CEO John Scott told the Boatsales Network the new Lowrance system would offer "never-seen-before" underwater detail.
"The sonar imaging module is the first and only wide-coverage sonar solution that also delivers a total underwater panoramic picture, so anglers won't miss a thing," Scott says.
Anglers will be able to compare DownScan imaging with 2D sonar images in split-screen display to better distinguish fish from underwater structure. According to a Lowrance media statement, the SideScan provides "full-screen left and right side-viewing with extra-crisp detail of up to 480 ft. (146 m) of underwater coverage".
The new product will be available to customers across Australia later this year, after it makes its debut at the 2009 Sydney International Boat Show.
