Idea for the Furuno developer team. “anchor here”

[allrelative]

I use the ‘fish it’ and ‘drift it’ function often for what its intended for. However I also use the drift it function to help set the anchor in deeper water. I choose the drift it for the spot I want the boat to sit, and use the distance to spot in feet to set the anchor.

So the idea is to take the “drift it” function and modify to calculate where to drop the anchor. The TZT can calculate the drift and the depth, all that is needed is for a prompt for the user to enter the anchor rode length.

Wow this would be cool and fun feature to add !

I will pass that on to development to consider. Thanks for the submission.
