    Chart Speeds

    When you're sitting still and using either 2D or Di do you guys run the chart speed lower or higher while not moving to get better quality of pictures? Thanks........................

    If absolutely stationary(anchored, poles down) its not really going to matter. If you're talking spot locked or holding on a way point to jig or fish a dropshot run the speed up so you're getting a real time view of what going on.
    If moving slowly forward chart speed slow to get a good image of trees, stumps, rocks etc

    If you will be sitting stationary, you should consider a 360.

    The most recent information is at right of view. I don't use DI very often but always use the fastest speed on 2D if I'm sitting still or going very slow.
