Location: Waite Park, MN | A couple things: yes, you'd be able to run the route forwards or backwards, or even start from a point midway into the route.
Lowrance has a rich history of being in the autopilot business, so this is going to be a robust interface.
With regard to the question about changing from numeric way points to alphanumeric: I don't have experience with the former, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't take the exported way points, read them into Insight Planner, rename them and export and import to your new HDS units. I personally name all my important way points. Fish ones are dollar sign images that have the date/time and size of fish that I caught at that way point. By touching it on my HDS, I get the data of the way point displayed. Others commonly get additional text that is important (like that I lost a supertanker on that spot!). HDS Touch makes naming them a breeze, too, since the keyboard pops up on the screen when you are in a text field. |
