Thread: Hey HB owners

Well you will now.

Wish I had more information to offer you guys but about all I know has already been stated. I have not seen one on the water yet and it look like I won't get to this month at least (normal training duties will interfere with that! ).

It almost sounds like the round GPS antenna itself contains this "Heading Sensor" at a certain point on the front edge of the puck...

I think you are right Rickie. I was expecting to see a inertial nav sensor as the next step. Heading is still good.

Looks like full list price will be under $200.00

A little more info, which makes perfect sense: This is going to be required to accurately mark waypoints with a 360 sonar. It seems reasonable that the 360 would have to know which may the boat is pointing when the image is captured to be able to mark a waypoint.

I believe this receiver will come with the 360 unit. Previously all heading sensors I have seen installed on boats were for radar.

I also think this unit is based on the High Accuracy gps with electronic compass.

edit it was me that posted the ? to Greg on the other board.

What is the 360?

360 imagining.
