Yes, LS in perspective mode. It is the only thing the perspective mode is good for - in my opinion - as it only gets a good picture at shallow depths around 5-15 feet. I have a RAM ball mount screwed to the Fishing Specialties pole holder that I can tilt around to get a better picture sometimes. SideVu is faster when searching a lake, you can run the boat faster and turn up the scroll speed to match, but you can't see the beds as well. LS perspective is short range, I keep it on 50 feet, but you can point it forward and follow the bank in about 8-12 FOW at slow speed, and see the beds in time to stop and set up without spooking the fish.

LS is not perfect, and I run mine cranked and a bit noisy. I no longer get into discussions/debates on-line about the tech aspects of PLS (too much acrimony and "misinformation"), and all the artifacts and limitations etc, I just use it the way it works for me. It helps being a electrical engineer with some experience in sonar and radar to understand what I'm "seeing" (hearing?) on the screen. I caught plenty of bedding bream before I got it, but it has changed the way I fish for the better. All just my opinion!
