    Don't believe we have that yet, but Hopefully they can do an update and get that done.
    I keep hearing about having to go to manual to get the best pictures, this time of year im fishing humps and off shore creeks etc. I go from 40ft to 10 ft and no setting other than manual is going to work if you want to fish. As soon as you get it set for 30 ft you roll up on 10 ft and your setting art going to work, then you re-adjust and drop back into 40ft of water.

    I may be missing exactly what you guys are talking about so please forgive my ignorance, but could you not take care of that just as easy with another profile and simply switch between them as desired? Granted that seems like an odd step going all the way 'back out' and switch profiles, but these Axioms are so damn fast it takes seconds. Like I said, probably missed what was really being asked so hopefully if that is not a useful comment I get a chance to learn something new again! :)

    Later Guys,

    Oh didn't know you could do variable size screens and have sirius weather on the birds?

    That could be Robert, I haven't played with it much as I always use auto 90% of the time. I never stay at a certain depth much it seems.

    You can change pane size with helix units. Humminbird used to have XM weather but stopped supporting it along with weather sense and cannon link. You can still get the xm weather if you have one of the xx8 units

    So it looks like CHit, What your saying is that the unit has to be manually, adjusted for what depth your in. If you are fishing in 20 ft and drift up to 10 ft on a ledge, you have to stop fishing to re adjust your unit for a better picture.

    Are we fishing or taking pictures of the fish. You are still in 20 ft of water.

    Maybe wrong in thinking here, but a unit should be run in auto and show you what you need while fishing, not playing with graphs to get the best picture then fishing.

    Are we fishing here or just trying to get the best image off a unit???

    Where are the fish shadows??
    http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=907848 Looked at a few shots you have posted up and see no fish shadow that the Mega is to be so hot at!! This is just one of your post with no fish sahdows!!

    Why are you TB still coming on here, when you have never ran a Raymarine unit, and comparing units when you haven't used one. Seems like maybe you need to at least go use a unit before commenting on something.

    You keep saying we are playing catchup, yet when we offer drone controls and netflix you say its not reverent, nothing is reverent until you have something to compare it to.

    So when we offer something its reverent, when we offer the same option we are playing catch up.

    yes you have to adjust sensitivity on any unit when you change depth, conditions and bottom composition. humminbird is the only one who offers a max and clear mode. max mode is unfiltered info and should only be used in 20+ feet. you can't run any unit in AUTO for anything except depth. yours included. that could explain why your images are so poor. if you take the time to actually look at the screen shot, you would notice that it was taken at 6:10 am. it was taken in the small chanel from my marina leading to the main lake. there is always more plankton and clutter before the sun comes up which would require you to lower sensitivity.

    there are no fish in the link you provided

    ive used raymarine probably as much as you have. i have a very good friend who owns a marine install business. we run boats with multiple units installed almost daily. i also have unlimited access to all electronics with boe

    you said

    the song is 'aint no body got time for that'. its a joke. if you would take some time to do some research on other units, you could avoid making threads with incorrect information. if you read that entire thread, you would see that most users who post a wish item that already exists, are corrected. you simply wanted to stir the pot instead of be accurate.
