This way you don't have to have the other humminbird gps/heading sensor in addition to the bluetooth puck for the trolling motor anymore to show your heading on your bow unit. Pretty good update.

Will this new heading sensor update work for the transom 360 as well.

The issue with that would be that you would be getting the gps info from the trolling motor head unit. So in your case you would want the gps source to be closer to the 360 so it would more accurately show your distance from waypoints. This is the notes about it from humminbird.

Unless you know someone that could send it to you for your particular model, then HB CS can send it to you. They don't keep older revisions on their website.

John .... The update is not for the 360, it is for the trolling motors with the new Bluetooth heading sensors and Ipilot Link. The update is actually for the Ipilot link and allows sharing the HS and GPS from trolling motor to the head units..... With the Helix units if you share the HS you also share the GPS. It can be shared to any unit on the network, but the GPS data will be from the trolling motor.
