Hello Furuno Community,
Just used my GP1971F for the first time on my boat. Coming from a GP1850F, the new screen and speed of the unit are amazing. I'm still learning how to use the new plotter but there are 2 things I can't figure out. Hoping if someone can offer some sugestions.
1) How do I add my "CURRENT POSITION" to a waypoint, point, or event? When I'm fishing or dropping a crab pot, I need to mark the current location. On my old GP1850F, I would hit the MOB button and a new way point is added. However the MOB function on the GP1971 does't appear work the same. The new MOB function looks to be really for Man Over Board tracking and does not add a way point to memory. I reviewed the operation manual and don't see a way to do this.
2) When the screen is zoomed in, navigation buoys are no longer displayed. To see navigation buoys on the chart, I have too zoom out quite a bit. When running in the dark, it's important for me to see the navigation channel which is marked by the buoys. Is there a setting where the navigation data is shown at any zoom levels?
Thanks.
