[PSUBS-MAILIST] Humminbird 360

[swaters via Personal_Submersibles]

It does. The GPS communicates with computer annd so does the sonar. This allows you to select something you want to mark a waypoint on and the GPS logs it. That way you can go back to that sonar waypoint via GPS. The 898c that I have works the same. When you go down, there is a little icon that pops up that means GPS signal lost.
I wish the 360 unit was oil compensated. That would make my sonar so much more effective being both side scan and forward looking.
Thanks,
Scott Waters

I meand that the 360 may not produce sonar image without GPS.

Emile,
The humminbird 898c that I have has a gps. I took apart the antenna and potted it in epoxy and it works like a dream.
Thanks,
Scott Waters

I heard that the 360 needs GPS data. Is that true??
Also not okay for underwater use.

Guys,
I spent some time talking to humminbird about their 360 sonar. A word of caution it is NOT a solid unit and filled with air unlike the regular transducers that are a solid unit. I believe this means it would crush under presure. They said it has a 30' depth rating. I about bought one to upgrade my humminbird 898c. Just wanted to make sure no one made a $1500 purchase not knowing this.
Thanks,
Scott Waters
