    Default H2O and H2OC users?


    Do any of you have problems with your unit showing the speed when you are going 1 MPH or less?

    Bill,

    I have talked to Garmin and Lowrance about this. None (GPS) are accurate or work well below 2mph. Just can't calculate velocity at that rate of movement. By calculate I mean the units internal processor doing the math. That what I was told and I believe it. You can bet our Military has this capability.

    I had the B&W model and rarely had a problem. I guess I'll have to go back to it as I have too much invested in software to change brands. Did Lowrance just exchange your color one for the B&W and you ate the difference in price?
