I think what he was wanting to do was have the built-in maps show the adjusted depths. As far as I know, thats not possible the way things are now. Those offsets only effect QuickDraw maps.

I just read something on THT that sounds like a fantastic idea - make HomePort Open Source.

That would allow third party programmers to offer up-grades, add-ons, extensions, fixes etc.

I agree. The way Garmin does the zoom now just distorts the image and doesnt help at all.

Or do it like they do with their street maps. With my Garmin Nuvi, I can download any part or parts I want - until the memory is full. Plus, I can change my mind if I want, and load a different...

If Garmin fixed this, more people would post screen shots - which is equivalent to free advertising for Garmin.

Actually, if they just listened to their customers......

Can we get a "split screen" option for Garmin Helm? The idea would be to display something different on the tablet from what is shown on the MFD. For example, have the chart on the tablet while...

When you have a combo screen with a chart view and you expand the chart view to full screen, if you hit 'Stop Panning' it puts you back in the combo view rather than just stopping the panning. It...

I just saw a good idea someone came up with on THT. They suggested Garmin make it possible to read PDF files on the plotter. That way you could copy your fishing regs or other special rules or any...

Im not sure how well that would work. With the new depth shading options, it could get confusing what all the different colors mean. I leave my TRACKS turned on so I can see where Ive been. That...

Upper Chesepeake Bay and a small part of the lower Susquehanna River is covered under the Offshore G2 maps - but not very well.

The rest of the Susquehanna River would be on the Lake view maps but...

Interesting idea. Somehow I doubt they would be willing to let anyone that far into their software but I may be wrong. I wonder if tweaking the recording like you suggest would make sharing or...

People are still having issues with heading and mapping in some situations so I would hope they are working on more fixes. I seem to be fine but I have a very simple setup.

Im curious - what exactly would you tune and what you would expect it to do differently?

Wow! We got stickied! Cool :)

Have you tried Fishing mode? Here are two screen shots from near me. The first is standard chart view and the second is fishing view.

I added a request to be able to work with Quickdraw maps in Homeport and to be able to add/edit Quickdraw waypoints/Poi's on the computer.

Added to the list.

It looks like some of our requests have been implemented in the latest software release. I need more time to go through the new changes but if anyone sees something we can take off the list, let me...

LOL

Then you would be the only person on the entire internet who doesnt ask questions that are covered in the manual - including me! :)

I thought you could already do that - at least with the touch screen models? I seem to remember accidentally setting waypoints when I was first playing with my 7610. Anyone else?

You can select the number of panels in any of the combo screens - 1, 2, 3, 4 etc when you customize the views. So you can make your own custom screen combos - or change the ones that are already set...

Hit the power button, then choose what to turn off and what to leave on

I'll add that to the list.

A switch is faster for sure and I dont see how it can hurt anything.

You can turn the PS21 off from the MFD. I forget the exact wording, but it has an option to "stop transmission" or something like that. I can also turn off my GT51m-TM the same way. I dont have a...

The LMS480 is a very simple greyscale sonar. No color display, no touch screen, no radar, no DSC or AIS, no NMEA 2000, no chirp, no sidescan, no charting, no networking, no a lot of stuff. All those...
