HDS 5, settings
Submitted by donlovesfishing on Tue, 2012-01-03 19:02
Hi there fellow fishers, hope you had a great weekend and have a prosperous new year.... I finally upgraded my old gp 31 gps unit.. With a HDS 5, combo unit. I have been out on the water once so far and have noticed that the screen is very grainy and not showing fish arcs but red and yellow balls in some places. I have set my sounder type, shallow water setting and a few other settings. Can you guys please assist me in setting this unit so I get the best out of it? Any input would be greatly welcomed.. Regards Don
