They are not clear. You will have to learn to distinguish the images but it is a very useful tool.

Here's one crappie stacked on a tree.

As Kosmos and Bama have said, it is just another tool in the tool box.
What makes the 360 hard to interpret is,objects directly below the 360 (in the water column area )are duplicated, by the two spinning piezoe's. Suspended fish,that show up in the water column (that are not duplicated) are acually,not directly below the 360.Targets need to be touching the bottom and out from the 360 ,to no were they acually are.
While fishing directly over targets,such as fish.2d/di are the better option.
Thanks guy's the main reason for me wanting one is for seeing ahead of me and way point accuracy.

Its on on when you see this
It will improve your being able to get exactly on your waypoint about 1200%!

Just saw this thread and wanted to add a few screenshots. I'll group some together and give commentary on some of the shots. Bottom-line, the 360 is a killer in shallow spawning fish. We just got the new Humminbird Solix on the boat and will see how it works with the 360. Ten months out of the year I use the SI/DI, but it sure does help those other two months. One other point, I think 90% of the fish live in 10% of the water, the 360 is a good tool in helping me find that 10%.
Literally, the first three shots below were worth $1,000. We were in a tournament and all but one of the teams had thought this area had spawned out. Look at the temperature--in the low 70's. Several tournaments were won in this area, but 1-2 months earlier in the season. The wind was in the 30's this day and this area was blocked by an elevated roadway. I turned the 360 on and I knew it was "Game-On"!!! Some of the big girls were late bloomers and still in the area. Most of the fish we caught were around 1.5 pounder's. (One piece of advice--look at the speed in these shots--go slow and be very quiet when big fish are this shallow).

Different lake and earlier in the spawning season, but whew--lots of crappie and we were culling early in the day during this tournament.

After two years of using the 360, I mostly use it in the Spring during the spawn. As you can see in the previous pictures, it is a game-changer from Feb.-April. Below is a typical Winter shot showing me there are crappie in the area. It doesn't give me any idea of where they are in the water column, but switching over to SI and looking at the shadows helps me know what depth to fish.

This is another Winter shot and helped me out this day. I was paralleling a roadway with rip-rap in the water. As you can see from the picture, I needed to be forty feet to the right. I made adjustments and caught some fish.
Attachment 275226
Interesting picture that I thought I would include. The DI shot shows I have a crappie-condo with fish on it. The 360 didn't really help at all because I was too close.
Attachment 275227
One other comment--because of the first three screenshots, we now own 18' rods to help reach out to those big females when in shallow water.
Dinner at 5:30. Range 25 feet.

Tristan, Sorry I'm little late on seeing your post, but here is a few examples.
My 360 is on the TM and I use it for vertical fishing 98% 0f the time. The other 2% is when I back off the brush pile and cast past it and slowly drag the jig back though it or just over the top.

Tritsan, Look for shadows they will tell you a lot about what is there. You may not see a log laying on the bottom, however you will see it's shadow. If you are spider rigging you might want to turn CONTOUR "ON" as than is true horizontal distant to object. With CONTOUR "OFF" and water column visible you see distant to object as the Slant ranger of the beam. Rickie can probably explain that better than can. Hope the about post helps.
rdjj, thank you for posting those photos with notes; that is very, very helpful to the learning curve.
I found one more 360 picture that Redge sent me. I don't think he will bar me from his boat if I post it. As Kosmo said it is hard to see fish if you are using the 360 as a scanning tool. What we normally do is scan with SI/DI until we see fish (mark cover if we don't have a waypoint on it) then drop TM and go back and fish it with 360. This image is with a camera so hope it looks OK. With some adjustments it could look prettier, but I'm sure he catch fish here.

Finally got installed now maybe I can get some great screenshots like yall have shared with me! Attachment 282658Attachment 282659
Please share some screen shots and your thoughts as you get it figured out. Lots of people on the fence about this it seems sometimes.
Tristan how’s it working for you?

This is a bait ball and Crappie in a creek channel. Note the brighter colors - that is bait. I’ll take some others this weekend

Nice catch and thanks for sharing some pics. So how about your opinion of the 360 up to this point?
A very nice toolQuote:
