Has any one had this issue before?
Mountain Fork, I have a Elite 7 HDI and was having the same problem and I had the correct transducer selected. Called Lowrance customer service and was told to try different settings, I did and it didn't help.. I had no way points and decided to do a hard reset(in my yard). Followed the set up procedure and went to the water for try out. Got the best bottom pictures I have gotten since I had the unit. I will try again to make sure it was not a fluke. I have no clue as to why how, or what took place. I just know it performs better. I guess it's like rebooting your computer. ....Good Luck....crappie1133
