I have 998 and Helix 9 networked and realize I need a switch if I want to network all.

    Yes, you can use a SI, DI, or Sonar model to run the 360. It can be used to give a DI or Sonar model the SI function also.

    How is your 360 configured? I have concerns if I run the 2D from TM US2 for the 360 and also run the Helix 9 DI at same time there will be issues with the two transducers right next to each other at bottom of TM. Is the simple answer to buy the network switch and network with the new Helix 10 and pull 2D from another location? Any advice is welcomed, thanks

    I use a Side Imaging unit with my 360. Side Imaging is turned off when a 360 view is selected so they cannot cross-talk. When a SI or DI view is selected, the 360 is turned off.
    360 uses 455 kHz, it will not cross-talk with 83 or 200 kHz 2D sonar. 2D sonar is used for the Depth readout.

    I don't know how 455 kHz 2D sonar is handled with a DI unit. 200/455 kHz is the standard 2D frequency for a DI unit.

    If you use the XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T transducer on the trolling motor, that is tuned to 83/200 kHz and the DI unit is set to DI 83/200 kHz so that would not be a concern.

    Thanks Wayne...as long as the 360 will display on the Helix 10 sonar/gps I plan to purchase I should be good to go. Would you happen to have 5 port network switch model number.

    Quick question for anyone...im close to the 360 and helix 10 2D/gps purchase, main reason for helix 10 is to run the 360, would there be any real advantage to stepping up a few hundred bucks and buy the newer G2N 2D/GPS unit when its primarily going to be used viewing 360?

    Wondering if there would be any better clarity on 360 view with the new G2N unit or just better 2D

    The displays are the same with G1 and G2N so the 360 view would not be any different. What you gain with the G2N is CHIRP Sonar and CHIRP Imaging--MEGA with the G2N SI model.

    BIGGER is what is different and why I got the H12 to run the 360.

    The H10 would be better than the H9 not only for the screen size, but also the higher screen pixel density.

    Wayne,
    I'm considering the same set up. I'm not sure I understand your answer. There is a huge difference in detail between GN1 and GN2 because of Mega. Does the output from the 360 transducer take advantage of that and give you that detail advantage or do you only realize the difference if you use the Helix transducer?

    No, 360 uses 455 kHz ONLY no matter what model including the ONIX. Image quality is affected by the display pixel density and size.

    MEGA is 1200 kHz SI and 1200 kHz DI with a MEGA SI G2N unit only.

    I have a non US2 terrova on the bow, if I use the Cumberland crappie mount to add 360, does this unit also give me standard 2d sonar capabilities? Don't want to use my vertical jigging capabilities

    The 360 is Imaging and does not do depth. You need another source for depth/2D sonar.
    That can be a 2D unit, DI unit, or SI unit's transducer.

    Anyone know how long the Ethernet cable that comes with the 360 is? Trying to plan out what I need for my new set up, not getting the 360 for another week because it's on back order but I wanted to order The Ethernet cables to network everything, thanks

    To my knowledge there has never been a 360 update.

    There are 2 updates. One for Helix and some legacy units. The other for Onix/Ion.

    Their is only one download for Onix and it is the initial one 2.030 released in 2014 when Onix came out. If you buy a 360 today it will already have it in it for both Onix and Helix.

    With a bow 360 connected and operating, there is a rearward offset setting that is opposite of the bow forward offset. The update included with a registered bow 360 has that setting if your unit does not have it and you want it.
