    The 3ft difference between the HELIX internal GPS antenna and the xducer on the TM is minimal ...

    The magnetic compass in the AS GPS HS antenna would be of great benefit in itself simply because it keeps the boat icon from changing into a circle at below 0.6mph ...

    This makes it much easier to orient which way the waypoint actually is from the boat position ...

    The Big Sonar Quiz Thread is a work in progress since Photobucket screwed all my hosted pix in the forums ...

    I am slowly getting the pix and diagrams re-inserted into the quizzes ...

    I'd shop around online .... then contact Brian@BBGmarine and see if he can beat their TYD costs. Brian is a Member Sponsor & his contact info can be found in the Member Sponsor Classifieds Forum.

    The AS GPS HS antenna plugs directly into the core series units ...

    ONIX and SOLIX would require the AS GPS NMEA adapter cable ...

    Ok. AS GPS HS on order. Meanwhile I am doing better at understanding screenshots thanks to Rickie's excellent Sonar Quiz thread. When using "Goto" which screen or split screen will allow me to see the track, location, direction, etc. of the marked spot? Conversely, when I am close or on it which screen/split screen should I be on to confirm the marked target? Thanks for all your time.

    Can you recall what settings you configured?

    Any Chart view will show the navigation progress ...and keep zooming in as you get closer to the POI (point of interest) ...

    Use 2d set at 75kHz-95kH or set at 75kHz-95kHz/175kHz-225kHz when reaching the waypoint ...

    The wider cone shape of the 75kHz-95kHz will cover more area under the boat making it easier to get the structure in the Sonar cone ...

    A combo screen of Chart/Sonar would do both above ...

    No, I am sorry I don't remember as I reset them based on what Lake and what conditions.
