C-Map reveal is bleedin awesome. I've used it to find rocks way out in the middle off nowhere in the deep.

I went away from Navionics, because I did not like that they want a yearly payment to maintain full functionality. If I pay $300-$400 for some thing I shouldn't then have to pay $70 a year to use it. Garmin is like that.

Navionics have their own version called G3 and available on Garmin sounders - its the same detail source.
I have a friend and very successful softbait fisherman who uses C-map reveal to target the very edges of reefs around Rangitoto using this technology to position his drifts perfectly.

CMap reveal - Thats brilliant. I presume its not for Garmin, as they bought Navionics, so since then the others Lowrance etc, have been improving Cmap. Thats an interesting example of what happens when you try and take over the market in marine maps. ]]> Tue, 01 Nov 2022 09:55:33 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=137113&PID=1829767&title=lowrance-elite-9-ti#1829767 <![CDATA[Lowrance Elite 9 Ti : What is a real game changer...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=137113&PID=1829766&title=lowrance-elite-9-ti#1829766 Author: Joker

What is a real game changer is the C-map Reveal and Garmin G3 technology available on newer models with faster chips. This overlays the bottom structure onto the GPS charts in much more detail that looks nothing like the regular charts.

Check out this shot of Flat Rock and compare it to Navionics Web App - no comparison.

Yes at 5 metres and the shadows are cast at 45 degrees onto the bottom. They have to be pretty big fish to cast a shadow in this depth even on such a big screen.

One of the better side images of 1M kingfish racing back to  the protection of "A" buoy in Auckland taken on a Garmin 7412 with GT51 tranny.

Kingfish are the group of dots in the left hand black bit and the shadows of these fish are shown on the green bottom to the left. Odd patches of bait fish overlaid on the right though hard to see as the fish wash out with the bottom.

I know what you mean - side scan is not easy to get your head around if you are used to the idea of the fish finder just showing straight to the bottom.
There are endless vids on youTube - some are specialist ones for particular brands - but I found this one about basic misconceptions quite helpful. It's where I got the screen shot above.

It's by a US bass fisherman, but the concepts apply to our salt water fishing.

Thanks TTK, that's a lot to take in. I know a few places in the harbour with some big rocks, I'll have to try it out there.]]> Sun, 30 Oct 2022 05:36:38 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=137113&PID=1829730&title=lowrance-elite-9-ti#1829730
