    any advice?




    There were 3 rather large trees right next to each other on this bank, but it appears that only one is showing. Any ideas where my settings are messed up? My sensitivity and contrast looks like it needs some adjustment, but I'm not sure why the other trees didn't show.

    there is only one man that could help you out, i've heard of him. He's the guru!! But since you didn't eat at applebees with him , not knowing who he was. he probably would be too busy. Oh Well HA!! P.S i'll talk to him and see if i can convince him, he owes me a favor.

    Looks like you drove over this tree. Might move to the side a little. ALso what cahrt speed you running to increase the size of trees and look inside them instead of running 3 for most detail increase the speed to 5 on chart speed and it will make the trees bigger and easier to look inside them.

    I am running it at 4. My boat idles around 3.5 mph, but I see what you are saying about the chart speeds. I'll try that!

    My boat idles about 3.5, so the higher the chart speed the better the detail?

    Nope the lower the speed the more detail. I recommend matching to the boat speed he idles 3.5 set it on 3. Speading up the chart speed will "stretch" the returns to make it easier to see the details in some cases.
