I quit using the HB gps for trolling and use it as the goto gps when I move to another distant location.
When I tried this with the HDS, it hung in there at the lower speeds. This is not because of the actual physical accuracy, but because of programmed anticipatory algorithms.
If you loose your direction arrow, screen refresh rate don't amount to hill of beans.
The donut is just a nuisance.
