In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzread.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

What great information. Keep sharing tips for Garmins. I can’t wait to try out what you shared once I get out on the water.

Very good video, I just thought I knew my unit but you showed stuff I had no clue about. Thanks for the upload!

Excellent. Lovin my garmin every time I learn a new feature

Very informative! Thanks! I just installed a 73SV UHD on my fishing pontoon.

I have a Echomap Combo Pluss 65CV Unit in my boat. How do i create a Track that i will make and record it for a later date. I will be navigating a route thru and area of shallow water that i will need for the future to come back on. Please help

Thank you for the great videos! Is there a way to save waypoints so that they show back up on side imaging when you go back to spots that you have marked previously, or do they only show up in map view?

Thank you! The unit in this video is a 126sv ultra. But these tips should work on most garmin units.

After you create a waypoint and circling back around to it. My Transducer is on the transom starboard side. My one and only unit a 93UHDSV with a 56 transducer, unit is on console approx. 8-10 feet in front of transducer. When you start driving towards the "X" for the brush pile, and you have it zoomed in to the max. Say 20' from the X. It shows the little boat symbol on the screen as you head towards the x. Is the X 20' from the transducer? Or is the X 20' from the unit on the console? So when i am trolling to the X and lets say i want to be 40 ' from the X with the Bow of my boat, am i measuring from the bow or console or transducer?TIA

The waypoint is made at the unit not the transducer. Also keep in mind civilian gps is only so accurate. 4-10’ give or take.

is there a way to store waypoints in say a "folder" for different places you fish. So say you fish a certain river can you have way points for that and load them up and then you go to a lake and have waypoints for that or does it do it all by gps positioning?

@MGMarineTech

3 жыл бұрын

That one I’m not sure on.. these units will store 5000 waypoints. So assuming you will only need those waypoints when you are on that body of water I’m not sure why you would need to separate them but I am always open to hear how others do things. That being said you can assign different symbols to waypoints and are able to sort by them.

Max-Does Garmin allow casting rings or other boundaries, so you can position your boat out from and cast to the exact waypoint structure? I couldn't find that anywhere...Thanks!

I’m sure there is. But I’m not sure what it would be. I would imagine you would have to find a way to export them to from the lowrance to a second card. You could then take them into home port and make them work with garmin.

When you hit the “mark” button it will make a waypoint wherever the boat is at at that exact time. And it will be directly on your track line

One thing to add and expand on to help others so they don't do what I have been doing. When you put the cursor on the brushpile/rocks/structure/whatever you want to mark, DO NOT PRESS THE MARK BUTTON. Make sure to press the CURSOR tear drop button that he shows in the video in the upper right of screen. IF you are MOVING and going over a brush pile, for example, and you pause the screen, put the cursor on the brushpile, BUT ARE STILL MOVING when you press the MARK button, you will create a waypoint WHERE YOU ARE AT THAT MOMENT and NOT mark the brushpile. And later when you try to find it, like me, IT WILL NOT BE WHERE YOUR WAYPOINT MARKER SAYS IT IS. It could be 20-100 feet away, depending on how far past it you went when you hit the MARK button. In the video when he set a waypoint (:26 mark) and named it Baitball (:41 mark) HE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GO BACK AND FIND THAT BAITBALL because his boat was moving when he pressed the MARK button. When you make a waypoint and you press the MARK button you will see in the upper left (:31 mark in this video) Waypoint Created at Boat. When creating a waypoint and you press the cursor button, (at 1:51 in this video) it will say Waypoint Created at CURSOR The most important time when marking a waypoint to use the CURSOR tear drop button is when you are marking a waypoint in SIDEVIEW. IF you pause the screen when you find a brushpile in SIDEVIEW, put cursor on it and press MARK, you could be 20-50 feet away (or further depending on how far the brushpile is away from your transducer) TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT OF YOUR TRANSDUCER. Take it from me, because I did it several times today, YOU WILL NEVER FIND THAT WAYPOINT IN DOWNVIEW when you go back because you could be again, 20-50 feet or more away from it because you marked it where your boat was at the time you pressed the MARK button. I know in the video he explains to press the cursor button, and I don't mean to come on his channel and give advice, but it is misleading when he marks the "baitball" by pressing the MARK button. And up until today I have always marked a brushpile by pressing the MARK button and would get frustrated as h*ll when I couldn't find it later. So hopefully this helps somebody else who couldn't find their brushpiles. Now to go back and re mark the 100 or so brushpiles and structures I have saved over this last year :(

Yes the first waypoint I make is just a example on how to name it etc. When it comes to marking a waypoint accurately on side imaging you actually shouldn’t put to cursor on the “mark” off to the side… You need to lead it towards the center for it to be accurate. I will do a video on this eventually

My point was when you put the cursor on an object NOT to press MARK but to press the Cursor button to make sure you accurately mark WHERE the object is

I wish these were as user friendly as lowrance. You can tap anywhere on the screen, press the waypoint key and then press the x button to continue. Garmin takes up the whole screen and you lose a good 5-10 seconds of screen viewing. Same with taking a screenshot.
