Well I'm not much on technology and can't even run my own electronics worth a hoot. I'm currently in the process of replacing an outboard motor so I'm borrowing a friends rig when I need to go. I was playing with his garmin unit yesterday and saw the panoptix option so I selected it to see what it was. It's was crazy. I was in really shallow water and it was showing me the bait I could see flipping around 20 ft in front of the boat. I watched a blob come up in the water column and a fish hammered my rod. I laughed out loud. I felt like I was cheating! So for you slow technology guys like myself, this garmin unit may be the ticket. I haven't shopped it but will ask what he has in it.
