Hard to say - reinstalled external puck, did software upgrade, adjusted settings (similar to your last post) all at once.
Big improvement yes, but hard to say which change contributed. It's now reasonable (however I still don't think the HDS
plotter 'experience' is as good as my old LCX-27c - (I put it down to processor speed, trying to crunch too much stuff maybe??)

Balou,,I was having a few issues with mine ,such as loosing the image when reversing and the lag time was very slow,I,ve used this upgrade and noticed a big improvement.I still loose the image if I go hard in reverse,but the refesh time is only a couple of seconds . Cursor lag could still be better.Remember when I showed you how I use the compass ,,,,by using this method and sonar I don,t rely on the plotter as much.

Yeah DOUG but mine was taking at least 5 mins to recover and wouldn,t reset to correct depth,so had to power down and wait another couple of minuts,but hasn,t happened since the software upgrade

Finally had a chance to test the GPS lag after the upgrade and the setting changes as per the post below. It was a massive improvement and I was able to drop on the mark without circling half a dozen times.

This may have been mentioned earlier but you can also increase the refresh rate of your internal receiver by following the steps below.

1) Press “Page” button

2) Press the right arrow on the cursor pad to scroll over to “Waypoints, Routes and Trails”

3) Use the arrows to select “trails” and hit the “menu” button.

4) Use the cursor pad to highlight settings, then press the enter button

5) Change the “logging type” to “Time”

6) Finally, set the time to “1 sec”. Press close and exit out.
