    Default Lowrance HDS Live & Motorguide Xi3 integration/route navagation


    Has anyone else experienced this issue? Using the Lowrance HDS Live on a NEMA 2000 network, I can create waypoints and in the trolling motor navigation mode, the Motorguide Xi3 will promptly navigate to the first waypoint and then do weird things like go on a tangent, or go in circles rather than proceed on to the next waypoint. I have created numerous routes and the result is always the same. I am sure there is a simple solution or setting that I am missing. My ultimate goal is to plot several routes just off shore and have the trolling motor navigate those routes while I enjoy a little stress free fishing. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    Sounds like it is trying to anchor on the first waypoint.

    Try this, Turn everything on select "pages" then "settings" then "network" then "GPS" then "all data" then "reset global"

    I am not at the unit, but have tried with the three options after arriving at waypoint with no success. I noticed that there was a software update announced by Lowrance for this unit. If that does not work, I will try the global reset. Thanks!

    As a follow-up, I updated the HDS Live to the latest software and it made no difference. It navigates to the first waypoint and then goes off on a tangent or around in circles. I think Global reset is the next step. Thanks!
