You can watch fish swim, track your lure, and see baitfish activity as it happens. RealVu 3-D Down, on the other hand, gives you a full three-dimensional picture of what is below the boat while stationary, showing you a single sweep of structure and fish in 3-D space. Both modes complement each other and are excellent for different fishing scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes the PS30 work while the boat is stationary?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eYes - this is one of the standout features of the PS30. Both LiveVu Down and RealVu 3-D Down work while your boat is completely stationary, which is ideal for hovering over a known structure, fishing a dock, or waiting out fish on a drop-off. RealVu 3-D Historical is designed for use while the boat is moving and will build a complete 3-D picture of the water column you've passed over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhich Garmin chartplotters are compatible with the PS30?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe PS30 is compatible with a wide range of Garmin ECHOMAP and GPSMAP chartplotters, including ECHOMAP Plus, ECHOMAP UHD, ECHOMAP Ultra, ECHOMAP Ultra 2, and GPSMAP 7xx, 8xx, 9xx, 10xx, and 12xx series units.
