First trip with HB 898

[Don G]

It sure did help to use the simulator a lot before hitting the water...I think I did pretty well for the first trip..Marked brush under docks today..Got some good side and down imaging..Pretty cool...I was going to take a few pictures but need to get a SD card for the right slot..I also need to study a little more on how to capture screen shots..

A couple of things that I have come accustomed to with Garmin I did not see on the HB chart screens..

1) No True North Arrow..

2) No GPS signal meter for 2D, 3D or Enhanced...

These things might be in a menu that I missed..

Overall I was real pleased..No TM interference, clear picture, and good GPS reception...

This is how mine is set-up:::I spend most all of my fishing time at the trolling motor..

I still have a lot to learn about mine but so far I really like it.
