What am I missing??

My understanding is that it is better for use in shallow water. It basically tilts the up/down forward view cone on its side. I don't fish water shallow enough to warrant having it, so I never got the mount & update. But, one thing it does have that I'd like to see on my regular forward view Livescope is the boat icon with the directional cone showing which way the tdx is pointing. You can see the icon in the upper right corner in this picture :



For me it would help to have that icon for two reasons : not having to have to check the trolling motor "arrow" to see which direction it's pointing .... and my trolling motor arrow is not lighted, so seeing the direction arrow at night is difficult. The icon would show me which direction the tdx was pointing, by simply looking on the screen (day or night). But, my LS tdx is mounted on the TM shaft. If yours is mounted on a separate pole, the direction the tdx is pointing would be obvious.
