FN, just wondering what SI can do that 360 can't? If idling down shorelines in which you are unfamiliar, couldn't you use the 360 the same way as the SI?? Maybe has something to do with setting waypoints on more distant objects??

Brian, the two work differently...the way I think about them is that SI is for using while I'm moving, 360° is for when I'm sitting still...or moving slow on the trolling motor.
I use SI to quickly scan an area while I'm moving along areas I think there might be good structure...I seldom do this at less than 3-4...maybe even up to 6 MPH. I mark the stuff I like and may want to come back to.
The 360° sweeps fairly slowly if you want good detail (it's not 360° all the time, it's like a radar), so what I do is come back to the spots I marked with SI and move in with the 360°...you can see the points you marked in the SI on the 360° screen.
if I tried to use the 360° for a scan while I was moving I'd miss good sized chunks of shoreline or structure.
Does that help? |
