HB customer service...my o my..

To coin a phrase from the great Cane pole...

Well, I spent a bunch time pondering over mine this weekend -
all that stuff I was trying out, changing settings to speed things up,
it only works for the screen redraw or whatever, when you move far
enough that the map "blinks" and catches up... does nothing for the other issues.

I did notice that it seems to update quicker while you're going down the
lake - it's like when you stop to fish, your position update slows down.
Hmmm.

But, I've about got used to the thing :o stop a little further out
and let everything "ketch-up" before trying to move in on top of something.

I should clarify too, I'm not talking about locking onto a heading,
before somebody says "doh, of course it works better going faster" :D

I'm talking about if you zoom in pretty close, you can see "you" hitch and
jump tic-tic-tic... it seems to be refreshing on about 1 second interval
running 30mph down the lake (good) but when you're below .6 mph it
goes to more like 4 seconds. Need to investigate more exactly what the
breakover point is, speedwise. Kinda hard to look too much without
running over something :D

I am a thinking, if it has enough processor speed to refresh on 1 sec at speed, it should be able to do it sitting still... sounds like it would actually
be less complicated a program to just let it stay on 1 second???

And they may do just that, and all be fine. But if they do, I'm REALLY
gonna think they were silly for all these shenanigans they've been
playing with us :rolleyes:

I'm gonna go home now and eat ______ and ____ my ole lady on the ___ :p
H'bird taught me that, can't be giving away trade secrets, the competition
is always listening :cool:

Trade secrets on fixing a problem. What a lame excuse to dodge a question. I would bet the "competition" knows their woes.

You know Humminbird has Garmin and Lowrance units checking them out. They even mentioned it on the SI Yahooers.
