Looking into a new fish finding sonar with "CHIRP" ability

[Offshore Dawg]

Has to have side scan along with down scan. Garmin, Lowrance, Hummingbird. Do any of you coast fishing guys have and experience with the new technology.

CHIRP = compressed high intensity radar pulse

I'm just an inshore guy. Wish I could help but my offshore electronic knowledge is what I see on whicked tuna

kinda late to the party, but I ran into Scott Martin a month or so ago when the FLW was at Pickwick and he showed me some stuff that was pretty neat on the new Garmin units.. If I had about 2500 to throw away, I'd probably get one of those over the Lowrance and Bird units..

Have yet to use side scan personally ... I have seen it and love it ... When I upgrade I will def get it ... Main thing is good gps and chart plotter for me ... And corresponding chip to go with it
