Yes, almost every manufacture is producing such imagery in a technology called "Down Scan" or "DownVu". I have it on the Garmin system on my Tsunami and it is a great tool for seeing the actual structure of what you are fishing. Mind you, the imagery on a flat lake in 27 feet of water is way more detailed than the images you get bobbing around offshore but some of the things I see are pretty impressive. I don't have any images from down view but here is a pic of a barge on "sidevu" which is basically the same but off to both sides of my boat.

very interesting Kmoose, thanks for sharing. I will have to get one for my future Seacraft boat = )

Structure scans are pretty cool. They paint a pretty good picture.the old days are long gone

downscan is a must, always have it running split screen with the fish finder

Let me know what you can spend.... not what you want to spend. Price is starting to come down on MFDs with a very rich list of features.
