Diel11,also today was the first day that I used my navionic card in the onix.it took just a little bit to load,but after that it responds very good.(I did like using the the pinch zoom on the nav screen.thats nice feature

I'm on Lakemaster and it did the same. Try zooming on the 4 pane view without maximizing and see what it does. I wonder if my transducer is freaking out.

Here's today:

And to make sure I got this correct, your version is 0.0? And you have a Onix 10 and not a Onix 8 correct?

You can hear the unit pinging away on some of those videos. Just listen on the background and you can hear it.

Deil11,somethings not right,I don't hear any pinging noise coming from my unit.i just went back to check again,an I wrote down exactly what I'm seeing.(software version : 0.0.0(1/17/14 10:47) yes this is an onix 10 unit.........something that I won't to clear up in one of my post today.i said that im getting real good di an 2d but the si is not as good as what I get on my 998.well in fairness to the onix, ive really never tryed to si with my 998 ,using the trolling motor.ive always side imaged at a faster speed than what my trolling will do.the side imaging that im getting is still pretty good,but not the best that ive done

That's weird man, I have 1.120 software version, which is supposed to be the first one. That being said, my unit was built the day before I got it, so not sure if they used a newer version and that's the problem.

The pinging is supposed to be the DI, so if yours is not pinging and you have the DI running, I don't know what to say. I just got a message from the engineers and they were on the water and could not duplicate any of the things shown in the videos. Maybe I have a bad transducer which is throwing everything off. I do have an extra one so I have asked if they want me to install it.

On the SI, when it works I am getting better SI than on my old 1198. Really good detail and clarity out to 150 feet.

Diel...I notice in 1 of the videos that several of the touch gestures are not responding the first try...especially selecting a menu choice or "x-ing" out of overlayed windows...

Is there a sensitivity menu somewhere for the gesture command that may need to be increased for the screen to recognise that you are actually "touching" a command gesture...??

Rickie

Rickie, there's no sensitivity menu that I can find yet. And you're correct, some of the touches will drive you nuts. When the unit first fires up you have to hit the confirm button and sometimes I hit that guy 10 times and finally it will work. On the menus if you try to slide sensitivity or any "on/off" settings, it will jump around or not even acknowledge.

The location of the "x" on top is very tight to the bezel, so you hit it and you end up hitting the choice below. Sometimes you hit the "x" but it just sits there.

I have informed the engineers of that also.
