True ........
on your second trip (or subsequent trips) to the same area AND only if you mapped AND converted those files AND re-loaded them onto your head unit.
Advanced mapping capabilities will do squat for you if it's an area you haven't been before OR an area, as mentioned above, isn't loaded on your head unit.
360 has it's place for exploring new water and structure coming up ..... but I am happy with my conventional sonar and side imaging ..... I really don't "feel an urge" to get 360 ..... it doesn't add a whole lot in my opinion.
Maybe seeing "what's ahead of my line of drift or travel" might be cool but it's not that compelling for me to go out and drop big bucks on it.
I agree that mapping has been the much bigger innovation - but it's really two different animals in my opinion.
