we have played with it on the bass boat using livescope and ice fishing and it is super beneficial for that. jigging on it is soo much fun (we call it video game fishing) but for trolling im not really sure what benefits you would see.. if fish are coming to your riggers you usually can see them with your transducer. only benefit would be to see the fish's action at your lure.. but i have never ran it trolling. But jigging, looking for bait or structure it is a lot of fun!
