Rockn the1199

So I pulled the trigger on1199. Remembering the old 1198 and running a360 on it. All I can say is wow. Perfect unit for 360 on front. It showed a lotta fish yesterday. Quite impressed. So guys I know it's nice to have latest greatest. But the square screen on the 1199 is a fishing machine with a 360. Nuff said.

Lee, did you download an update for the 1199 off line? I heard you can do that, just not sure how to do it. I need to update mine.

Naw solid 15 is bigger. No doubt. I just measured the height of screen on helix 12 which is a widescreen against the square screen of the 1199. I have both of them on my boat. Guess I'm really posting this to let people know. Hold on to them older square screens for the front. Or mail to me fer recycling.

I have the 12” Solix, had heard it was bigger on the Helix. When you have time put a ruler on it for me, please.

Which older ones besides the 1199 work good with the 360 to be looking for?

Thanks for the reply. For Redge, scroll threw this posting on ruler on screens for view size on posting on bbc. Thoughts on Solix 12/Helix 12 and sharing? - Page 2

looks like they are not running full view on 360 of those rullered screens as they don’t want to see what is behind them.

Lee for the way you fish that 360 is hard to beat. You don't have to drive over the fish form what I know of it.

How deep down in the water does the 360 "shoot?" I wanted to get a better look at Trey's unit at fall camp but didn't get an opportunity to get in the boat with him. I obviously don't know how to read them because when I look at the screen I just see blobs. How do you determine what the blobs are?
