Thread: Lowrance GPS Question?

i have a garmin gpsmap 76csx that i use while fishing and i do like it a lot.but that being said ive found that a commend old little rock that i though down on the ground and then marked a waypiont in the same spot was smarter than the gps. all im saying is that unless you want to pay alot more money i dont think that you will be able a achieve what your wanting unless you use a marker.sorry

I have 2 lowrance and like them ,however I can park on the bank and it will move like I am moving,only way to stay on a small spot is with a marker, thats how I jig over brush

in this video all of the units are showing coarse readings. the humminbird is reading coarse with the donut .the others with the triangle.if you will look they are all pionting in different dirrections because of the boat going so slow.if he were to speed the boat up thin they all will piont in the same direction . slow back down the same thing will happen.all im asking is look at the video and see. find the best gps expert you can and ask.gps in this range cannot do what you are asking.yes it is possible but not with the tecnology that were using.$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Lowrance HDS owners laugh at our HB "Donut"....

Rickie, sent you a PM. The horse died quite awhile ago.

GPS satellites have a small wobble, that, coupled with magnetic interference, frequency interference, weather iterference, reflective interference, etc. mean that there are limitations on their accurace. Even with WAAS, the accurace is only about two meters. Any manufacturer who claims more accuracy than that is exaggerating the ability of their unit. These are limitations of the satellite system, not the receivers we mount on our boats. Nothing these manufacturers do can fix the errors in the satellite system.

Good stuff Ricky. And you don't know where you are going with the donut. The horse will die when they fix it. The new update makes the screen look like an HDS, so maybe the donut will be next. We can only hope.
