HDS-5 Update

[Handymansd]

I remember a discussion on the boards a while back about the Nautical Insight map "disappearing" in the LaJolla area on the HDS-5 and 7 units. I never heard any follow-up on that, so I have spent some time talking to Lowrance about it. Upgrading to the 4.0 software has no effect on the problem. They are still unsure of an answer and have admitted that it is definitely a problem with all of the units, as their "master" map has the same issue.... a large blank rectangle that extends from basically the LaJolla point all the way up just past Solana Beach, and East to the beach. They seem to think it is a problem with the area being surveyed, although other manufacturers have the information available on their units, so that does not make sense.

I will try to update you all when I know more... one of their engineers is supposed to call me back with some answers, I am holding my breath...

Tight lines...
