I talked to Craig at Lowrance yesterday. He verified that when 3 or more panels were displayed, you can only zoom the 50 feet. I verified this with my hds8. He didnt have a hds7 available to check zoom.

Lowrance (facebook) answer about zoom was that this is by design. Sure!..........I asked why my handhelds with 2 inch screens zoom to 20. No answer yet.

I can't follow a thing on the chart using anything less than a full screen. Even with a full screen, zoomed in all the way can sometimes be tough to see a waypoint unless I are very close. Note to Lowrance...create and sell an extra "Monitor only" that can connect to the NEMA 2k so I can have a dedicated screen for the Chart, while looking at the 8 for the other goodies. (and make if affordable)
