Location: Waite Park, MN | Jerry, I just caught your note about the large MPH on the helm screen. Just thought I'd share what I've started doing. With an HDS 10 or 12 on my bow, when I'm running, I put up the "Info" panel on the display, and one of the data elements is speed, so I have that out in front of me as I drive. I have a Warrior 208XRS, so that display is maybe 13-14 feet in front of me, but the data is so big on the screen it is very readable.
I am obsessive about data overlay elements, which is why I was glad that Lowrance went from 5 to 10 items when they went from GEN1 to GEN2. I have most of my engine data elements off the N2K bus on my dash HDS in small font. When I had Mercury on the boat I had a Smartcraft gauge, and when I've had Evinrude I've run I-Command gauges, but I really prefer to have all the data in front of me w/o having to push a button to get another data element on a gauge. |
