Thread: false advertising?

six of one, half a dozen on another. Lowrance requires an extra step ig you want to mark a waypoint, H/B requires you to delete one if you don't want it. I f you are a picture taker, I guess










Six of one, half a dozen of another. A Lowrance user must do an extra step to mark a waypoint, and an H/B user must do an extra step to delete the waypoint. If you are a picture taker, Lowrance is a better choice. If you like pictures of your waypoints H/B seems easier. Neither Lowrance, Humminbird, Lakemaster nor Navionics has the mapping I need. Garmin is my choice for mapping, and I'm well satisfied with it. No need to network.

Having a single unit or shared units that pass the waypoint/mapping information to each other utilizes a great feature and simplifies things, rather than having sonar on one and having to depend on a non network unit for gps.

If I'm snapping a lot of pix (like during some of my xducer testing)...

I just delete all my NAV data when I'm done for the day....

I keep all my useful waypoints backed up on a designated SD Card just for waypoints anyway...(deleting my unit's memory does not harm my backup on the SD Card )...

If I'm fishing and want to capture a random shot...I delete the waypoint immediately after taking the screenshots..

It's not that difficult to delete a waypoint...I just wish HB would give us the option ...

But I understand...new "breakthru" products (iLink, 360, etc)...make more money for the HB stockholders than "free" updates for present units...
