    Leaking what is coming also tips off the competition and gives them more time to respond to something new and innovative being released by a competitor. The next opportunity for hearing of something new would typically be at ICast in July..So, if you need to buy before then you will have to go with what is available now.

    Good business not to leak. A company has to clear inventory at the best possible price they can.

    Discounted prices from multiple vendors on a product usually signals the near future release of the latest and greatest replacement.

    I’ve came to the conclusion that The 360 product is a dead line. HB is obviously having so many issues just trying to get their core products to work as designed that they can’t afford to invest in advancing the 360. And as they sit on their hands, the gap to the competition grows,

    Prove me wrong. A technology product that a company invests in has frequent updates. When was the last 360 update?

    The 360 isn't broken so it doesn't need fixing.

    Disagree, my biggest gripe with 360 is it is worthless if you have to run rough water. The oil filled dome gets shook up and won’t read until you let the air bubbles disappate which takes 20-30minutes.

    I've not had this problem on Ontario or Champlain. What are you seeing in your picture when this happens?

    Maybe your issue is it is not completely oil filled. There have been several that reported oil leaking out.

    I love my Birds but ........
    HB better come up with something to compete with Garmin Livescope and it sure isn't the 360 in it's current state.
    I have allot of $$$$ invested in my Birds, by far the clearest images you can get but I want to find and catch fish.
    My Birds have been moved to the console, my Livescope is now my tool that I use to find and catch fish once I get to an area I choose to fish.
    I wish this was not the case but it is for me.
    HB please do something!!!

    I scratch my head at this one every time. I find fish with my birds. I target them with my LS and 360.

    Finding them with Garmin imaging is the issue. There imaging is no better than it was when they first released in the US. Talk about a product that needs updating!

    Don't believe me? Take a ride with a Garmin and you will see exactly what I am talking about.

    Lol, the Garmin imaging is poor compared to HB no doubt but there it's not even fair to compare the information you get from Livescope to 360. Not only do you get distance but depth and most importantly you see how the fish react to your bait, nothing else even comes close. I love my Birds, thought they were we best. Time and time again I can ride by a dock and not see any fish, drop the LS down see and catch fish. Go to next dock and see fish with HB SI, not sure what's happening. Thought I was pretty good with my Birds, now I wonder what I've been missing. Please HB do something!!!
