    Default GPS setting on Helix?


    Our state lake maps have locations marked where they have placed fish attractors, but also this, "Be sure your GPS is set to read decimal degrees (shown below) and not degrees-minutes-seconds when attempting to locate these attractors."
    Just got my unit, and still learning lots of things, but could use some help figuring this one out. What is the default setting, and how do I drill through the menu to change it, if needed?

    Default format for HB units is Degrees Decimal Minutes ...

    Change the format to any other choice that matches your desired Waypoint format at "Position Format" under the Setup tab ...

    Thanks! Exactly what I needed to know. The learning curve on this machine is steep, and I am in the heat of things right now... LOL
