Wow, what a bit of kit the deeper is.
You hear the words game changer banded around quite a lot, this deeper is well deserving of the title. Really does open up the mystery of what lays below. This isn't a review as such, just a few remarks on this new device.
I don't know how others are using them, for me, I'm just using it to map out the bottom and to know what is out there and what to avoid, for that it's perfect. Well happy with it. And that lakebed app they've got going is very handy. All in all, a very good bit of kit and well thought out software

Do they show fish at all, or just depth and contours, etc?

It shows fish mate, can even choice the size of fish you want to show up but tbh I have that feature turned off on mine and just use it for the bottom and depth

As richpp says, they do show the fish and you can chose between small, medium and large. I don't really know what they relate to to be fair. How large is the large size? I did have it on just to see what it shows up for a while. Found a bunch of so called large fish bunched up at one point not far from where I was, didn't catch anything. It does have options where you can have it show up either how far from the surface or the bottom fish are.
In the new app it auto builds a mapping out for you that you can upload or just view on your phone or tablet which shows up all of the underlying contours. Very revealing to say the least and very handy for future reference
I can't see that it'll be that long before these things have side scan and the likes. All in all, for someone who was never that fused about this sort of tech, I'm sold on it.

I was interested to see that although I use mine with the fish icons switched off, when reviewing the scans online later, all the fish icons are there in the maps.

Really? I didn't know that. Maybe it's something they've got to iron out in the software if you didn't.want that to show up

Anyone who's used one know what the range is on these? The early ones were not great.

Mine works to about 90/95 yards with my samsung s6.
Just remember just because there is a fish ico it does not necessarily mean its fish could be a few other reasons .
By the way how are people getting on with the latest software version.?

Yep that's the one all you need to do is give Matt a number from your deeper so he can programme it into the WiFi extender and it works fine then nothing else needed just needs mounting on a tripod few feet of the ground

What phone do you have bud? Deeper's are well known to work better on iPhone (iOS) I've used my deeper chirp to 120/130 yards on my wave runner without any modifications and it worked fine

I bought one recently and use it on the Trent, great bit of kit. It also still shows fish with fish icons switched off, in fact it's better. They're just another object after all. They appear as arches, the thicker the arch the bigger the fish.

Do a search for the thread 'deeper user advice' , it has a guide to making your own range extender as well as other simpler options people are using
