Here's a interesting fact, that I believe might be overlooked.
Does the onix, using the 360, require the gps/heading sensor puck.
The answer is no.Acually , the 360 will operate without any gps hooked up.
I'm presently using the internal gps from my onix, but later with hook the gps/heading sensor up.
I need the heading sensor for my navigation orientation, fishing ledges while stationary.
GPS alone doesn't do very well while stationary.
It is my understanding the AS GPS HS antenna is needed for waypoint marking on the 360 image ...where the waypoint is different from the GPS antenna present location ...Quote:

Yes, you are correct rickie, but as far as using the 360 to view and locate, there no need for a gpsQuote:

I have always had a 10 gauge wire run from my onix, back to the console, hooked to a buss.. took (doug vahrenberg)advise today and run the 10 gauge from the onix straight back to the battery. The results were very noticable.the onix is now responding much better.i also timed the boot up.i got 1:30...... really don't no if the boot up in proved or not. (I've never checked before now) (BEINGS I NOT ALLOWED TO POST , OVER THERE WERE DOUG IS COULD SOMEONE PLEASE RELAY MY RESULTS) " THANKS DOUG"
The bigger gauge wire improving performance is a fact.......
Posted.......What performance is improved? Touch screen?....speed of screen changes? Sonar?Quote:

Posted it ...... I'm pretty surprised the wire size makes that much difference....kinda strange.
Maybe a DC to DC regulator would be in order.
Im running a 10ga wire from the battery to a BlueSea 12 Circuit fuse block. Mine is moving about the same as yours. One thing is I have a dedicated battery for the electronics, so I'm not using the cranking battery for the Onix. Even when I power up the Simrad units the reaction is the same. Sometimes it acknowledges the touches, sometimes it doesn't.
Considering my install was physically looked at by HB folks and given a green light I am scratching my head too Bob. I have 12 ga to dedicated fuse panel, two Onix units at console hooked in via HB power cords and 12 ga to front unit.Quote:
