I called navionics and did confirm that if you have bluechart g3 + lakevu g3 built-in, you have all that they currently have available for mapping on those two lakes. Case closed!

Very confusing for sure but that makes sense why there is a discrepancy!

Yes, the AC card stays in the unit all the time. The chart on the AC app and the unit, do not match what navionics chart viewer shows on their website for my home lake. For some reason the lakevu g3...

Thanks. That’s exactly what I do, but it seems to come back after restarting the engine. If I go into the dances setting, it shows off yet the troll bar is still there. I have to turn it ON, then OFF...

On an hds gen3 running version 7, connected with nmea2k gateway to a Yamaha F250. how do I hide (permanently) the troll bar on the left hand side? I went to settings > advanced > features > Yamaha...

Pretty sure at this point the Helix units will not be able to select the Point1 as an external GPS through the NMEA2K gateway (Gen2 included)... not sure why HB can't fix it as it's a standard PGN...

Still an open issue here.... HB CS have yet to report back and it's been over a month!

Point1 + Helix 10 = no worky!!!!

That's the kicker! heading and attitude information work great from Point1 back to the helix... The helix just won't allow me to use the gps info or set the point1 as the external GPS. So all my...
