Very good info! I am sorry you found out the hard way!

I hadn't thought about the progress onto the brush pile. I thought I could just go to the pile, spot lock on it and then look to see where the fish were exactly at. Now with the info that you have posted, I see why it wouldn't work for me. I had been contemplating using a HB SI in the same manner. Really want the 360 though. I appreciate you pointing out exactly how it works/doesn't work for you. We fish exactly as you describe about 95% of the time. I realize that the HB 360 is like Radar and I don't have to turn it, it scans itself. (Well at least I think that is how it works) if that is the case it sounds like a better option for me.
