Learned a lot this last few days. The new Garmin Echomap Ultra 2 series now has wifi/Bluetooth connectivity that allows you to view and control the main unit from anywhere on the boat using a phone or tablet. So unless I find out that Humminbird and the new mega live 2 is a while bunch cheaper I am leaning towards Garmin echomap 126sv with LVS34 Livescope transducer, gt56 transducer for rear and kraken trolling motor with the built in gt56 for upfront. Then purchase a 14.6in Galaxy S9 tab ultra in a waterproof case for upfront. |

if you're going to use live scope you're going to want 2 head units, one for 2d and map and the other dedicated to livescope otherwise you split screen and cant see well |

Thanks for giving something extra to research :chuckle: Frim what I can tell the new unit using active captain app can work with 2 tablets at once both showing different things. Plus the Galaxy S9 tablet is only $500ish and has 14.6 screen and way better resolution than the Ultra 2. I'll keep digging but if thats the case 2 tablets up front is still way cheaper. Probably won't get 2 giant screens though. Maybe a 14.6 and a 10. We shall see. |

Are you sure you can run two tablets at once doing different things? I've never tried so don't know but when I use my tablet in the back it changes the main screen realtime so both screens are showing the same thing. Now I have something to try, two different screens would be handy. |
