    I would like to offer one more software upgrade for SI units – add new Side Imaging Screen View Option, which I explained in this slide show video (sorry for not very good quality):
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyHWgXOdwpw
    As you could see it took the same 42 seconds and 6 screenshots to pass the same 200ft long lake with 7 sec. pause between shots, and nothing was missed.
    Using of full screen width for split screen view of map and normal SI will not bring much help and would have the same disadvantages comparing with Alive Screen shots SI mode:


    1. Side views are moving (not static)
    2. Bottoms are vertical (not horizontal)
    3. Scale of view is almost half less.( Screen shots scale is 1.5-3 times bigger)
    4. Attention is jumping back and forth from left to right view (attention is concentrated on one static view).

    Normal SI views are good for seeing big pictures for knowing relative locations of bottom objects, but if you are looking for fish on bottom background or for some small bottom details (sunken motors, victims ets) it isbetter to use Alive Screen shots mode .If to use rotating bracket for sonars and turn it for 90 degree using completely full screen – nothing would be missed at all:
