Scott, I use the 797c si  (compact and cheap)  that works also withoud GPS.

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
