« on: February 16, 2014, 10:51:09 AM »
THERE IS NOT ALOT OF TALK ABOUT THE 3D PLUS SONAR . THE ONLY INFORMATION I FOUND IS THAT YOU CAN VIEW IN 3D OR 2D SONAR SIDE BY SIDE. VIEW ALL 6 BEAMS AT THE SAME TIME. ROTATE VIEW IN ANY DIRECTION. CAN ANYONE TELL ME MORE ABOUT THIS ? IS 3D PLUS SONAR AVAILABLE FOR THE 899 UNITS.

I found this..




See contours, drop-offs and features you can’t see with traditional sonar
Rotate your view in any direction
View 3D and 2D sonar side by side
View all six beams simultaneously






HB lists this xducer for the 3d Plus Sonar

SHS 7W
Transducers710002-1
Transom Mount Transducer
20' cable, six elements, 455 kHz, for 3D products listed below...:


947C 3D
967C 3D
MATRIX 47 3D
WIDE 3D PARAMOUNT
WIDE 3D VISION
WIDE 3D VISTA

The models that are found when "searching" the HB website...come up as Legacy units...

Interestingly...the SHS 7W 3D xducer still shows as "In Stock" when clicking the "Add to Cart" button...

No, the 3D sonar is not available for the 899 units nor for any of our current line of units.  The 3D units have not been made for years due to a decreased interest mostly due to the introduction of the Si sonar back in 2005. 

What did you want to know about the 3D sonar?
You can still download a copy of the operations manual for the 3D units from the Humminbird web site:

My 898HDSI claims 3d Chart View,,,, cant find it in the manual to turn that feature on but wondering if I have to use one of the old pucks to make it happen. does the 898HD have a 3d screen view that I have yet to find out, besides SI?

I'm confused ...

Where are you finding the 898 says it has 3d chart view ...??

There is "Bird's Eye Chart View" ... Which is sort of 3d looking ...

HB 898 marketing page says so, right column.  it is of course located under Legacy equipment.
3D chart view.  i think i need an older transducer to make it work.

The specification is talking about 3D chart view ...... This would be a mapping thing and wouldn't have anything to do with the sonar or transducer.

The only 3D sonar I have heard of is Lowrance's new 3D structure scan.

Someone else responded in another forum that they thought it pertained only to Bird's Eye view in the 898. Thanks for the help.
