Thread: How to Find Hours Used on a Lowrance HDS Gen 3 Touch

Would like to know myself.

Some guys on BBC answered a thread I had put on there concerning this question.
Answer was that with the new hds touch units there is not an option for unit hours. One of the moderators went on to say that what is the use when there is no moving parts and updates available from manufacturer.

Buttons and touch screens are moving parts. These parts are the ones that fail more likely than not.

Actually they are solid state and movement is only possible by the user.
It's no mystery why solid state will take over. By replacing mechanical parts with electronic ones, devices can get smaller, cheaper, more energy efficient, rugged, long-lasting, easier to service and maintain and less prone to dirt and dust.

Sorry. The switches are not solid state. If it moves, it is not solid state. Should I venture into flash grid array switching?
