None of them (that we can get our hands on) will give accurate speeds below 2.5 mph. Some of the units may indicate a slow speed, but it is a pseudo reading.

Was afraid of that, might have to be happy with my Luhr-Jensen Speed indicator, Thanks again.--shu

What do you mean "won't do the low speed needed for trolling"?

I believe that statement is in reference to the fact that trolling speeds are more often BELOW the 3mph pace ... and the GPS units have a hard time, or are not capable of reading or holding a reading at speeds that slow. And, as Tom (Cane Pole) mentioned, even if they are registering a speed ... it's probably not accurate.

... cp :cool:

Crappiepappy is correct, i wish to troll between .8mph and 1.4mph but it's almost a guess what my correct speed is, am trying to learn the ins and outs of 'spider rigging' and have failed so far, was hoping to get a gps to get the speed right. With the temps dropping i'll be able to head to the grass shortly and worry about speed in April. Cane Pole i reread your post from Garmin explaining bearing and direction, thanks again for all the info.--shu

I have watched a garmin 76-s for hours spider rigging and while its prolly not the right speed ,you can use your var. speed trooler to set your speed from.3 or .4 all the way up to what ever --

Well this was supposed to be a link on E Bay. I was wondering if this would work. It sold for $207. Is the price for the premium a one time fee or yearly? This is the setup I need for my maps just need to learn more.
Thanks again

You are right. You can use an old laptop and use the trial version of OziExplorer. However, you will get a nagging screen (buy me) a lot if you don't use the full version. Also, a lot of the functions are inhibited. Things like: importing maps, calibrating maps, merging waypoints, etc. don't work on the trial version.

The simulator mode don't work either. I like simulators. You can learn a lot from a dummy.

The Garmin wireless is waterproof. My Ipaq ain't waterproof, but I can put it in an Otterbox. I don't fish in the rain. I am so sweet I might melt, or maybe I am a big Wuuz. Your choice. ha

You can't see standard laptop screen very good in sunlight. However it is really neat at night. Nothing (mapping) can touch KY Hydrographics stuff on Ky Lake. I don't care who makes it.

Naw. I ain't on KY Hydrographics payroll. Maybe he will promote me to a Pro Staffer. Maybe Humminbird will promote me to Pro Staffer. I know a lot about their simulator stuff. :D

Lots of maybees here.

Yep. That it. It will work. Good price too (for someone).

You can download the trial version of Oziexplorer and OziexplorerCe. It is free. It will give you and Idea as to what it will do. Trial versions are not fully functional. I sure like it. I got the full version of both programs. There is a one time charge for the full version programs.

I have the Ozi trial didn't know there was a trial for the Ozi CE. I have some of the HydoGrafx maps and a handheld Garmin. These will put you right on. I am assuming there is still no way to get these maps on a gps made for a boat. I would love to have a separate Eagle IntiMap with these maps. Don't understand why you can't use a card reader and install these. I'm tring to find out which way I can get these maps on the water. Need to find out which model Ipac's will work, what size SD card you need, and anything else that would help. I know I need it to be Bluetooth enabled for wireless. What other features does it need? There should be something on Ebay that will work without having to buy a new one. I don't have to have the latest and greatest.
