    Default Questions about Lowrance HDI


    I have a lowrance elite 5 hdi, and after playing with it for a while i have a series of questions:

    I've read that i can review a sonar recording on my computer but cant figure out where to find the viewer program, i have looked on the lowrance website and the only thing i can find is downloads from sites that look pretty fishy.......where can i safely get to sonar viewer
    When i'm reviewing the log on the computer can i make waypoints for structure? If i can, can i also take those waypoints and transfer them to my unit on the boat? If so, how?

    Also, i have been reading and watching videos to really understand 2d and DI sonar but i cant seem to find anything that actually tells me the bottom coverage area for the 455 and 800 DI beams.

    Thanks in advance for your wisdom

    I did google but all the sites looked seedy

    No one else has any wisdom for me on the other questions

    So I've googled the heck out of lowrance sonar viewer, all I ever get to is a product manual download page....
