Very good videos on the Mega Live, thanks. I troll mainly for Lake and Rainbow trout, very deep water (30-90') Any pointers on the angle of my transducer to cover this area. Problem is the rainbow run shallower and the Lake run deeper in the same water. A lot of time in 150'+water suspended the the above depths.
I regularly go down to 60' but not 90'. I don't know that it would work well at that depth. From a Landscape angle standpoint, probably 30° or 40° down from horizontal... 5 or 6 clicks up from the down position.
I've always assumed the landscape name came from the fact that it is a side-to-side view... just like portrait vs landscape on a video. I'm guessing that Perspective and Scout were already copyrighted by Garmin and Lowrance. Yes, if you were looking for fish on structure, I would definitely use the Forward Mode for that. That's not really the purpose of Landscape Mode. Landscape is good for determining where things are from a distance and side to side perspective, but you are clueless on the depth perspective. Forward Mode is good for determining where things are from a distance and depth perspective, but you are clueless on the side to side perspective.
I'm not exactly sure what your comment is stating. Are you saying that the sonar beam angles are 120 x 20? If so, I would love to know your source because Humminbird hasn't published those details.

Pretty obvious that landscape is about useless for finding bottom structure. Why in the world its called "land"scape is beyond me. Thanks
