    Mega 360 front view

    New to 360 but like running the front view when I'm fishing down a bank to only see what in front of me but wondered if I'm missing a setup option. The front view disappears when the transducer is rotating toward the backend reappears once it's spun around. Is that just how it is with front view?

    Transducer still has to spin a full 360.

    If you use Isolate Sweep Area and set the coverage area and direction, the transducer sweeps back and forth like a vehicle windshield wiper.

    If you use Display, that gives you 360, or Front, or Rear, or Left, or Right coverage and the transducer fully rotates clockwise.

    If you lose the image with the Front view, you have a defective 360.

    Supposed to look like this all the time:

    Turn on a SI view and use the MEGA 360 for SI and you will see which piezo has failed (left or right).

    Should not make any difference what the Display setting is, a failed piezo would do the same for all of them.

    Display Full, Front, Rear, Left, and Right use both piezos and do the 360 rotation.

    That's what I figured. My full 360 is fine is why I wondered why the front was like that.
