I run a couple of Garmins but don't have any screenshots. I am going out tomorrow, wind will limit where I can go but I will try and remember and stick a card in there and take some shots of stakebeds, brush, and stumps.
Looking forward to it what units do you have
I have 93sv and 73dv, wind was brutal and I was catching fish, only snapped a couple. Probably be a day or two before I get time to figure out how to post the captures but I will. Also will be off a week starting Thursday and I will try and get more images for you guys that are interested.
Sorry for taking so long for coming back to this, I am not real into playing fishfinder while I fish and also took a while for me to figure out how to get images uploaded to here. It not many images and totally dropped the ball on side scan.
These don't look like spots most would stop but...

Deeper spots like these produced another limit but most didn't look like those, and on those the schools only stayed briefly.
The Garmin's are good little units for the money if your tight like me. I have run Humminbird core series in the past for several years as well as older generations of Lowrance 2d and spent a fair amount of time in boats running Hds. They are all good in my book. The big hang with Garmin right now is mapping, if your lake isn't MaxDef you better do your home work to see if its good enough. Barkley isn't and I am probably going to have to put one of my old Birds back on just to run Lakemaster, Fishsmart on my phone is getting old quick.
Now that I have figured out how to get screen shots up on here I will try to more up for guys interested in Garmin, I am blessed to be able to spend quite a bit of time on the water.
I purchased a 73dv last year but havent had it out enough to figure it out yet, but I am thinking about getting the 73sv. do you think the chirp is better or the map?Quote:

oh sorry, they make a 73 sv with chirp and without, the one without has maps, the one with chirp does....just was curious what would be the better. I already have one that has dv with maps , I was gonna move it to my console and put sv on trolling motor.
The CHIRP models (73 and 93) are Panoptix compatible ...
Ya never know what you might want to add in the future ...

I don't think there is a best really, just have to decide what the best fit is for you. Although the Garmin mapping isn't great on my home lake I still wouldn't buy a unit without mapping personally. I can't comment on the Chirp vs non-chirp units, haven't run the non-chirp. I do run the the 2d some in Chirp and some in fixed frequency on my units though, still not sure which I like better or if I can really tell the difference.
I guess I feel like the best all around value from Garmin is in the Echomap Chirp series because I feel it offers more features for a small price difference without getting into the price level of any of the top end models from Garmin,Lowrance, or Humminbird.
I bought the Chirp 93sv off eBay New for $740. For a 9" side vu unit you can't beat it for the price. I think the 2D is one of the best on the market. I think the down vu is great too. So far, I'm still working with the side vu. I use it to find cover and brushpiles and less for trying to spot individual fish, and for that it is wonderful. If you rank the high end bird and lowrance birds at a 10 then I would say the Garmin is a 9. So you can decide if that one point is worth the extra money.
