I'm a lowrance man but got a good idea about 3 of them. The bearing box has me stumped
Cursor reading, Cursor is marking the top of the structure at 9.4 ft from surface in 13 FOW, :scratchhead...is it 102 ft from the boat at 293 degrees? Think that is right
Top of structure 9.r fow, 13 ft total depth, distance 102 from when tracking began (sonar turned on) then bearing being degree of travel on map from starting point when sonar began ( unit turned on)
Is that right?
Tom
The 9.4 curser is how many swear words you've said since turning on the unit TODAY!
Brett, you are a poor man's Bob Hope...:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl
Do you know bob hope brother? ................no hope
rickie,tell me if im wrong,but I believe that that using 293°,while returning to the waypiont would give the best accuracy ?Quote:

While several of the answers are correct (or partially correct)...I will use slabbacks quote as the reference ....and then elaborate a little on kosmo's answer in a sec...

*The "Bearing" data box indicates the "straight line" bearing from the boat's present position on the water...to the coordinates of the "active cursor position"....(regardless of boat "heading"...ie..the direction the boat is pointing)...

Now to eleaborate on kosmo's answer....
This is the same criteria the "GOTO" function uses ....(if the "Active Cursor Position" had actually been used to mark a waypoint at that indicated "Active Cursor Position"...Quote:
