I think the drawing is trying to show vertical beam size as well, but the drawing isn't good. The beam is much taller than it is wide, making it almost a slice as the video described.Quote:

The cable steer foot pedal is "consistantly relative" to the direction the TM is pointing...thus...so is the direction the piezoes are pointing...
The sensor uses this "consistant relativity" of the foot-pedal/TM/piezoes to tell the processor where to place the "pizza slice" on the display...

My guess would be the same technology that allows "left" and "right" SI beams not to interfere with each other....Quote:

Another question is how is the SpotlightScan beams not interfering with the DownScan beam...??...(maybe same as above...)

i dont think there is a ds beam.the spotlight beam is being turned to appear as dsQuote:

here are my questions ,
do I need a new fish finder up front for this to work?
what about GPS up front?
how well will the DI be with the trolling motor moving the boat at a very slow speed?
I fish brush piles, thats about it.
Look at this picture.idont see how that its possible for the spotlight picture being the same as the 2d/di. In the 2d/di the boat is moving from deep to shallow water yet the spotlight appears to be in a constent dept.maybe im wrong but that how i interpet this picturehttp://www.wired2fish.com/lowrance-releases-new-spotlight-feature-and-sonarhub/Quote:

This is 30 degrees apart. I'd think if you are getting interference with beams 90 degrees apart, you'd experience the same with beams 30 degrees apart.
