Location: Stevens Point, WI | Joel, I'm not saying what your doing and how your doing it doesn't work. Going back to the original post by Cory, he's having issues with all his icons from his LCX unit transferring over to way points that read ICON 1, ICON 2 etc.
I've been running two HDS-8's this year, I've had to adjust without the icon button myself. So, I have found by laying down a track, it's just as efficient and in my opinion better than using icons. Lay the track down, use the way point button to mark a sweet spot or fish or whatever it may be.
I use the track as a reference point, by no means is it the all knowing, have to be on that track follow that depth kinda deal, we all know fish can move and change locations within a piece of structure. I lay the track down, giving me a reference to how the structure lays. I then can move up shallower or go deeper by adjust my boat and using my arrow. I have an LGC-4000 gps puck for a reason, it updates 5 times per second, that's 4 times faster than the LGC-3000 the LCX/LMS units use.
Also, by using a track, your screen will be much less cluttered and won't take up those valuable waypoints/icons. |
