i currently have all humminbird units and also have 360 i am thinking of getting a garmin unit and panoptix transducer for the front of the boat to use panoptix and my 360 together. i think both panoptix and 360 have their advantages and each makes up the others disadvantage. panoptix is real time can see fish and how they react to your lure. 360 allows you to see 360deg but has 8-10 sec delay and fish are sometimes hard to see. i think using them together would be ideal. use 360 to spot brush or rocks or whatever then point panoptix at it to see the fish and keep up with the school.
so with all that i cant figure out what i need. i basically will only be using the unit for panoptix so i dont need all the other features like side, down, or mapping, those will all be covered already with my birds.
what would be best unit? and which transducer? for what im looking to do with it?
