Not to mention, most "Good" tournament fishermen do their homework on the lakes they fish. One would think with two days prior to a tourney, a fellow would make it a point to "read up" and at least make a valid attempt to improve their knowledge prior to fishing the tourney.

I did try to look up the manual online and I only found where I had to purchase it (maybe I looked in the wrong place) and my manual is in my boat in Kentucky and I'm in Missouri and was hoping I could figure this out before getting to the lake. I have answered and helped MANY people on this board with questions regarding Kentucky Lake and don't remember the last time I actually asked for help myself and I should've known I would get someone like yourself to answer my post.

As for most "GOOD" tournament fishermen....never claimed to be one, but I was fortunate enough to cash a pretty nice check out on the ledges in my last tournament a couple weeks ago against some "VERY GOOD" tournament fishermen along with several others this year....never hurts to be lucky I guess. As for "doing my homework".....what does this have to do w/ my question??? I appreciate your concern for my tournament preparation, but I simply wanted the GPS not to blind me while running and thought it might be a simple setting someone would know off the top of their head and help me out with. I've never had to use a GPS running at night as I've been fishing KY Lake for over 28 years and happen to be able to stumble from spot to spot on my own, but the GPS is helpful in finding spots on ledges in the middle of the lake when you are fishing a body of water that is 160,000 acres. I'm not fishing this tournament for the $, but simply for a little fun competition and hopes that I'll meet some good guys that will help each other out when they can (unlike yourself).

If anyone could answer my original question I would appreciate any help you can give.

Thank You....
