Location: Racine, Wi | TJ, something to ponder would be to maybe have your Lowrance techs look at this (and the other threads you're referring to) to see if maybe they can implement some sort of improvement out for their software to where the users of their products don't have to go through all of the manual manipulation of the data gathered on prior units. Technology is changing daily, and I doubt if it would be difficult to create code that provides an upgrade that allows for easier data transfer from older units.
Most of my posts last night were in jest if you weren't able to tell, however what Cory, Brad, and I are refering to by being able to map out structure using icons (or waypoints as it may be) is to PREVENT us from sliding in too close to the area we are casting to, and to be able to hit those spots with the cast that is needed prior to getting to the area. The tracks aren't going to highlight that sort of detail when the spot is mapped out as you mention. I'm sure there is a time and place for how you work (I do use trails for some of my trolling runs), however when trying to focus on specific areas of larger structures, mapping as Cory and Brad have outlined is very productive.
