Lowrance side imaging explained.
This video explains what humminbird side imaging is and how to read it.
My lowrance structurescan unit allows me to view both sides or just one side at a time.
Unlike standard side imaging sonar this unit will show you more detail and let you uncover 3x more output in the most precise detail.
Mega side imaging is an impressive feature that deserves massive praise.
The structure scan has a 3d display that works like a side scan but allows you to see the point at which the fish are suspended.
Clearly it is now possible to quickly survey a wide area on each side of the boat get an idea of the slope the presence of obstacles several tens of meters apart and even read the winding path of a riverbed submerged under 15.
Side scanning capability will give you significantly more range as it projects well beyond the limitations of traditional transducers.

The lowrance 3d structure scan on the other hand gives you a picture of the fish in the water column.
You will get unparalleled underwater clarity coverage up to 125 feet on both sides of the boat.
Side imaging is now installed on high end models of the brand humminbird lowrance and coupled with a gps.
The side scan allows you to see that the fish is toward the side.
Understanding side imaging takes some getting used to so.
