HB owners are humble enough to swallow their pride when there are issues and ask for help, because they see all the help people will give. Lowrance owners don't want to admit on the internet they have issues even though people are willing to help. Case en point recently discovered Low users have the same issue getting on a waypoint at really low speed as hb, but with all the ragging they do on the donut won't really speak up about it. I think this is less an issue here on C.C than other forums.

X2 on reading the manual would eliminate 90% of the posts for HB. I read one today the guy wanted to know if he could find out how far he had been from the track line. Silly me I thought that was what the manual said the trip log was for.

Reality is that there are issue with both brands. Just like with laptop/desktop computers SW gets scrambled just a bit, both running exact same hardware and software and one works well and one does not.
