Question for Garmin Experts
I just recently started using the GPS functions on my Striker units. It's a very useful tool, but there's one aspect of it that really bugs me.
The boat icon rotates according to travel direction. Even if your boat is drifting backwards (stern first), the cursor will flip around (bow points to the direction of travel) and it makes trying to stay on top of a waypoint next to impossible.
Is there any way to lock the boat icon so that it stays referenced to boat position (not direction of travel)?
I have found that there is a lot more precision to dropping a way point and creeping back to it than using marker buoys. Getting to them is not so bad, but trying to stay on them in the wind is frustrating, with the boat icon spinning around trying to stay with the direction of travel.
