Data Overlay for Lowrance HDS Carbon Chartplotter
I have just bought a Lowrance HDS Carbon to replace my Lowrance GlobalMap 6500...essentially because I ran out of waypoint storage (1000 limit on the GlobalMap).
I configured the digital data fields on the GlobalMap to include:
1. Distance to Destination
2. Time to Destination
3. Arrival Time
4. Destination Time
5. And a few others
This pane sat on the left hand side of the chart and was very useful when navigating to waypoints.
The HDS Carbon has what's called Data Overlays. They can be positioned over the top of all of the views, whether they be the chart, sonar, steer etc.
My question is this. I can't find all the fields I use and like. Most are there, but I can't seem to find Arrival Time or Time to Destination as Data Overlay fields. Time to Destination is on the steer view, but I'd like it overlayed on my chart.
Anyone else come across this and perhaps solved it? I've created a custom view with Chart and Steer, which is a compromise, but I'm still missing Arrival Time.
Cheers

Not Lowrance but might be
Not Lowrance but might be similar to my Simrad,all the navigation details are in my Instrument Panel, can show or hide it from the screen by pushing the power button once, and a menu pops up where i can adjust brightness, lock screen, night mode ect ect

I seem to recall that if you
I seem to recall that if you select a waypoint to navigate to most of the info appears in a pop up box on the bottom of the screen automatically. I will go and have a play in the shed when I knock off and check it out.

Raised a Support call with Lowrance
Pretty sure I've come to the conclusion that the Arrival Time feature is no longer available. This is disappointing...would have thought it was simple to include and I really like it. I don't think the customisation ability is as good in the HDS as it was in the old GlobalMap
