Lowrance 17M GPS sonar unit

I just purchased the Navionics Hotmaps for the Eastern United States to go in my Lowrance 17M unit.

Now all I need is someone to show me how to use this darned thing!!

The instruction book is 194 pages long. Are there any sites that can help someone figure out how this thing works.

The sonar screen has to be the active screen if split. And the overlays are separate for the split and full screen options. Del

Read the manual?

Heh, heh, heh...

First off, what is it you want to do? I can't help you unless I have an idea of wether you want split screen, single screen GPS/Sonar - you get the drill.

I can get you to the basic stuff, but the rest will be up to you.

I think I have figured out the split screen I just have problems with sizing the different screens and getting GPS speed and temp to display with the sonar.

The Navionics hot maps are another issue.... they come with no instructions just an advertisement for more Navionics software.

I also have an X125 up front with the transducer built in to the trolling motor head but the temp showed as 32° F. last weekend and I know that is incorrect for Indiana at this time of year. I think I am going to have to add a separate temp sensor for the front unit.

Thanks for the help.
