Have a few Questions for the ones running there Lowrance units, How slow does the GPS show movement? On my Humminbird units I have to be moving way faster then I need to be when fishing a spot that is pinpoint dead on. Was about ready to throw the Matrix 97 off the boat yesterday. When fishing a key spot that is about as big as a car, Its just way to much of a hassle to stay on those spots.
I know throw out a marker. But when your fishing around other boats and there not catching fish. I don't want to mark them for others. Now I can take my Garmin Hand held and it updates as soon as the boat moves allowing me to know what way to move to get back on top of this single rock thats holding fish.
Been running Humminbirds for a lot of years, started out with a flasher then the first LCD screen they came out with. Always told my self I would not swap. But with Lowrance having it where everything can be shared between both the front and back units. Plus if there GPS will show the boat moving at less them .07 MPH I may be saving my copper for 2 new units. I thought with the Bass Boys drop shotting so much. Humminbird would figure this out and fix there units where they allow us to stay on a spot.
I have a 997c-SI and love it other then the GPS now showing me moving until I;m away from my spot. Even the Matrix 97 is the same. And hate to use the Garmin hand held to stay on a Spot.
Lost in Pickwick because of a GPS that shows a donut until your moving way faster then I can and still catch fish..
