Was it a new trail. If you have been running the same one for a long time that will be your problem

I have waypoints that just disappear on my LMS334c . Work that one out. Lucky I write down all the important ones. The unit will decide it doesn't like metric readings all of a sudden and revert to feet. Every now and then it requires a soft reset. Sofware probs methinks. The lowrance website is very good for trouble shooting though. I persist with the unit as the GPS is quite easy to use.

imperial
i have a similar unit.
the change to imperial is a pain. went to the 3 mile and that was the day it changed to feet. i was looking at the shore and couldnt believe i was in 100m of water. eventually realised it was feet!!
still need to dig out the manual to change it back.

do you delete your trails
do you delete your trails after every trip.??
I think it can only draw a certain amount , so after it reaches that amount , it clears all previously drawn trails to begin again. happens if your out on a really big day.
go into my trails and then edit the trail and turn maximum points up. (mine defaults at 2000 , so i turn it up to 9999 and have no probs)
If I spent half as long fishing , as I do reading this bloody forum , I'd be twice the fisherman I am.
