As noble as your quest may be, there is also a time to throw your hands up and move forward.

Now this makes interesting discussion...which is exactly why I started "Project HB Donut"....

Point 1: ...Humminbird has NEVER (as of yet) officially said they will not address the "Donut"....Lack of an answer is not proof of HB future plans for wish list items....

Point 2: ...Humminbird WILL NEVER suggest potential customers to buy Lowrance...That's cutting their own industry throat....

Point 3: ...I (and the other 30 "donut haters" that skeptics call it) do not wish to have to change brands just because of such a simple fix.....

Point 4: ...(IN an example) It took Humminbird a long time to address the wish list item of "user selected" removal of the water column...i.e "Contour Feature"....Lack of expedited inclusion of addressing a wish list item is not proof of HB future plans for wish list items...

Point 5: ...More than once it has been suggested and discussed that the "Donut" could very easily be programmed as "user selectable" where it could be turned into a directional arrow OR a "Donut"....This feature update would satisfy everyone in the discussion and potentially curb some lost sales for HB because of people deciding Lowrance just because of the "Donut".....

I think if everyone in the discussion would take the time to thoroughly examine each and every post in the "Project HB Donut" thread (and everywhere else the "Donut" is being discussed).....the ONLY...and I repeat...THE ONLY sonar industry people that are telling "unsatisfied HB Donut owners" to buy Lowrance is HB owners against the the discussion....

So there it is ...in plain open site..for all the "powers that be at HB"....

SATISFIED HB owners are telling UNSATISFIED HB owners to buy Lowrance.....

What's wrong with this picture...??
