Thanks bc. Wonder why Lowrance would do something like that? Seems like it would be bad for business.

Thanks for the update. I started the original thread and submitted the screen shots to a Lowrance customer service rep in hopes to get through to an engineer/tech. I followed up with the same customer service rep and he still hadn't heard back from the engineering department. At about the same time I also noted a post on BD for the same problem and that guy had gotten through to an engineer/tech, so I figured they at least knew about the problem. Considering they have the backside of San Clemente Island mapped with contour lines, there is no excuse for not being able to provide that service for our local waters. If you think it would help, PM me the engineering contact and I'd be happy to contact them as well. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
