    Vessel View

    Prior to the 20.0 HDS update I was able to view Mercury Smart Craft engine data from twin engines on my HDS Carbon unit via a Mercury Gateway NMEA connection.

    Since the update I have only been able to view either the Port engine data or Starboard engine data....but not both simultaneously. I tried to resolve this with a Lowrance support operator on the phone, who didn't seem to be to sure what a Mercury NMEA Gateway was. After much explanation and holding the line etc I was eventually told the Lowrance software no longer supports Mercury Gateway and I must buy the new Vessel View Link. (even though I can still view single engine data).

    Has anyone else come across this problem? If so are you aware of a work around or settings fix that I have over looked? or Am I committed to forking out $ for the Vessel View Multi Link if I wish to display twin engine Smart Craft data on my HDS?
