    A 98 TRAIL ISSUES

    Recently installed an A98 at the console of my bay boat. Have had Lowrance on
    all of my bass boats so this was different but still not rocket science.

    I'm having an issue with the trail or track function. I simply cant get it to draw
    in real time on the screen. I have been to the Data section and everything is set up
    correctly. I have it set to "Auto" for interval . I have the "show" selection enabled.

    I have the start track tab picked in the Navigate section. I've tried different colors
    with no luck .

    It is recording the distance & number of points but no trail on the screen. I did not have time to
    name & save it as a route then see if I could see it on the screen.

    Basically frustrated at that point.

    If it's like the instructions and all of my previous units in the past , once you turn on the trail feature
    it should be recording and displaying on the screen , correct.

    Maybe I need to reset back to factory and start over ?

    Any help would be muck appreciated.

    What software version are you running? Probably shouldn't matter, but always make sure the latest software version is installed before trouble shooting.

    There is a tile on the bottom to show or Hide the trails.

    I remember a tile on the side (I think) that allowed the user to hide tracks , it was in
    the Track menu. I had it set to show the track.

    Don't recall one on the bottom but I'll look when I can get back to the boat. Maybe I have it turned off.

    Thanks
