Visited HB sideimaging groups. They really been been getting slammed on the GPS problems. Looks like they moved it to the top of their "to do" list. Last year they ignored my cries. This year, I guess more folks found out the GPS has a problem and gripped about it.
Those who posted on HB groups, thanks for the help. Power in numbers.
Thanks all for tolerating my whining. I will now shut up for a while about the GPS, unless HB starts procrastinating too much.:)
You ever thought about run'n? You got my vote! I knew they'd get around to it. I got faith in those guys. They've done me right so far!Quote:

I take nor want any personal credit for this. It was C.Comers that got the ball rolling.
I want mention names. Thank all of you for speaking out.
Well, Tom, when they get all of 'em fixed--includin' yours, be sure and let us all know. Then, I might reconsider buying one of the side-scan units.
I dunno though. I found PLENTY of brush piles with my little black and white Lowrance LCX-X17 and my new Garmin MAP 76 CSX. That combination is right on the MONEY when relocatin my waypoints. Put the bottom of the triangle right on the flag, look down to the X17 and THAR IT BE. Once in a while I'll have to make a second pass once I drop the marker. But, I could not be happier...except I only caught two specks this evenin'.
Water's gettin' cooler maybe the fishin' will heat up soon.
Now what can I spend that extra two grand for? I need an enclosure for the soon-to-be party barge sos I can fish all winter...and a propane heater....and an easy chair.....Hmmmmmm. ;)
I probably just talked meself out of one...until I actually see on in action. Then I might get the bug. Glad things are turnin' around for you, Tom.
aj
That's some good news to start a Friday :)
Tom --I was wrong --you can talk to a dead horse
You may not get all the credit but you sure keep the pot stirred--:rolleyes:
What's I miss? Can't access the yahoo site? They put out a date they'll be available? Any details?

Tom Vickers, HB software programming man, stated he would prioritize this GPS issue.Quote:

Still better than the alternative! :DQuote:

As I posted on HB side site, this "SLOWGPS?" also effects you when are trying to return to a "MOB" site. I would think that if U are offering a MOB feature U sure would want it to work----BUT then who am I, ..not even a tasty crappie :eek:
I believe you pretty smart to bring this MOB up. I didn't think of it nor did anyone else. Excellent point, especially at night.Quote:
