    I’ve been using the pause and cursor, but then finishing by hitting mark. Wondering why my waypoints have been 50 feet or more from brush piles I thought I marked. Was getting very frustrated. Garmin should make this easier to understand. It doesn’t help that the tear drop is bigger on the screen for a few seconds and then minimizes. Anyway this and all your other videos have been greatly helpful. I feel I’d have been really lost without them. Much appreciated sir! You’ve really been the difference in being able to get the most from my electronics investment.

    An even better option is to use Sideview instead of downview. Downview only gives you the correct location in relation to time. The mark could still be 5-10 ft to either side of the boat. Sideview will mark the spot exactly.

    I'm a kayak angler so Im not always launching at a ramp. But I do mark my launch areas, so I can find my way back to! I have a 106sv with LVS34 system & steady cast on my Hobie PA12-360 kayak. It's an awesome set up! Can you group your waypoints by lake? So your unit is only processing a smaller # of waypoints so it doesn't slow your unit down?. Or would I have to save each lake on an individual sd card?

  • @johnbmadwis
    @johnbmadwis Před měsícem +1

    Question: I fly fish knarly big water in Canada. I use my plotter primarily to avoid hazards, not finding fish. On the Navionics app, you can have the app plot a route to generally avoid hazards. I can only find straight line route function on the Garmin plotter. Doing it manually in segments is not the same as a generated route. Any advice is appreciated. TIA

    • @DoubleTFishing
      @DoubleTFishing  Před měsícem

      Not so much, you can convert a track to a route but the route function itself isn’t very user friendly from my experience, have a great day, sorry not much help.

    • @DoubleTFishing
      @DoubleTFishing  Před měsícem +1

      Yes, that is very irritating but go to the “map orientation” setting and play around with those options. Personally I prefer the “course up”. None of them will keep the map stationary, have a great day!
