My point was that when driving around -- although it is rather cool to look at for the first few trips - it gets rather distracting to watch the contour of the bottom, when in reality by the time it "paints it" / your past it !

I was simply trying to save Moose Tracks some money as he investigates the options --- all said & done (with installation included) the Sonar transducer is NOT worth the expense (in my humble opinion) as a non fisher.

Moose Tracks original question was do I NEED the Sonar feature
Honestly, I didn't read the whole thread, only the comment above mine. I've been lonely and wanted to be involved in something bigger than just myself. Thanks for taking that from me, Phantom.
