Hi, this is a great forum! I have a few issues with my GP1870F which we use as a GPS only.
Im sure the problems we have are user related.
1st . At zoom range of 0.5 kms or more we have all the map detail.. contour lines, breakwalls, marinas etc. When we zoom in closer all of the map detail disapears leaving just a blue screen. We need to follow contor lines accurately in ( preferabley ) zoom of .020 ( 20 metres scale ) to locate limestone ledges etc. and navigate accurately into the marina at night time..Details on the actual card is written C-Map 40 dated February 12 2014 0077 port eyre to Apollo Bay. The area I am fishing is S 34degrees 32.200 E 137 degrees 09.700 . which is off Port Victoria in South Australia.
2nd. The unit stores the waypoints in alphabetical order.. we want them stored in distance from closest to furtherest. I can do this via the roto button when required but it always returns to alphabetical order. How do I store waypoints in distance as the default.
3rd. when we zoom the map out some of our further waypoints loose their name and just show an Icon.. It seems logical that when we zoom the map out we should be able to determine what our sorrounding fishing grouns are called.. not just where they are.
Hope you can help
cheers
