With the Garmin Panoptix PS31 Forward transducer, you can see what’s happening ahead of your boat in real time. It shows bottom, structure, and fish live—even when you’re stationary. Ideal for scouting spots accurately, tracking lure movement, and reacting immediately to how fish behave. Choose between two powerful views: LiveVü Forward and RealVü 3D Forward.
LiveVü Forward (real-time view)
LiveVü refreshes the full image with a very fast update rate, delivering the closest experience to “live video” sonar. You can watch fish swim toward or away from the boat, spot both baitfish and larger targets, and often even see your lure as you retrieve.
RealVü 3D Forward (forward-looking 3D)
RealVü 3D builds a 3D volume in front of the boat. The image is updated ping by ping, with the full volume typically refreshed within 1 to 4 seconds. This makes it easy to interpret bottom contour and fish in the water column, with clear scan history on screen.
