I'd assume Lowrance figured no one marks icon or waypoint every 10 feet along a weedline. That would be my guess. Isn't a locator suppose to be used to travel along a weedline? This is so very intriguing to me to think some guys have all these icons marking weedlines. Use your sonar, watch your depth and go, this isn't rocket science.

oh my, please tell me you didn't just say that.

maybe i'm crazy, but sometimes i like to know where the rock point or the inside weed turn is at without putting my boat ON TOP of it...

USE A WAYPOINT! I use the Navionics NavPlanner2. If I'm at a lake and I lay down a bunch of waypoints, then I save them to a card and bring them back to put on the computer. Load the files you need before you go next time, that's how all the pros do it! Make sure to start fresh with an empty unit and an empty SD card each time.

Not having the Icon feature sucks, but not all Lowrance users use the unit like you. Ask any of the bass guys how they use there unit, I'll bet you it has something to do with them!
