Its my understanding that if I would ever do a reset on the Lowrance I will be loosing my waypoints. I use the Garmin to get the waypoints onto my computer saved into EasyGPS so that if need be I could get the waypoints back onto a handheld if I ever loose the points on both the Lowrance and Garmin.
The other day on the water I really noticed a difference in the refresh rate between the Lowrance and the Garmin 76S. I have been mainly using the Garmin to work the brush piles since I was more familiar with that unit. The Lowrance seems to have a much faster refresh rate and after noticing that fact I realized why at times in the past I would have problems finding and staying on a brush pile with just the Garmin.
I have been using the Garmin zoomed in the max and left the Lowrance zoomed further out while locating and fishing brush piles.
The next time I'm fishing brush piles I plan on zooming the Lowrance into the max and letting the Garmin stay zoomed out further and see if it is easier to stay on the brush mainly using the Lowrance.
