GPS plotters with Event Icon Markers
Submitted by ctan1968 on Sat, 2014-03-01 13:28
Hi all,
I currently have a Lowrance plotter with the function of "event icons". That is, I can hit one button to put an icon on a screen with its own lat/long but not classified as a waypoint.
Very handy for pinging flare ups while travelling or even when we pick up good fish while off the waypoint.
Do any other brands have this function?
Thank you
Chris

most if not all decent
most if not all decent sounders have this - often called a MOB (man over board) feature.

HDS
Hey CTan, I used to have this on my LCS, but haven't found the same function on the HDS, I can only put down waypoints.
What unit are using, I miss the ability to down markers which are easy to group delete.
Paul,
on Lawrance, this is different to MOB because you can put as many icons on the screen as you like, with no navigation to them, just markers.

icons
That's correct bsir. I have an old Lowrance LCX model which came with the boat. The icons are very helpful.
