Here's a recreational fishfinder product question I've been wondering for a while:
For decades products like even the most basic car stereos have allowed users to program a number of custom presets into the device so that with a single button press, the unit is customised for an exact purpose and range of functions. e.g. [Prog 1] [FM97.7] [Volume=6] {Tone=3] etc...; [Prog 2] [FM108.4] [Volume=9] {Tone=7] etc, etc... More importantly, they allow a user to add more than just one set of customisable, pre-programmed presets.
With my 587 I know I can customise everything BUT technically I can really only program my own custom preferences once based on a single change of settings and then make fine tuning adjustments from there. E.G. Select a manual RANGE then SHIFT then, the rest
I would like to be able to press a single button or menu where all of my custom settings appear instantly for a particular water depth for e.g. Program #1. When I press that button or menu again I would like to go to my next lot of pre-programmed settings for Program#2 and so on.
i.e. It memorises the presets you put in
Prog 1>Gain8.2>colur erase 18%>Range60>Shift15>Clutter30...etc
Prog 2>Gain3>colur erase 22%>Range100>Shift40>WhiteLine15...etc
Prog 3>Gain7>TempMarkerON>colur erase 22%>InterferenceMED etc,etc..
Prog 4 - etc,etc
I'm asking only about recreational units because there's a ton of people with small trailer boats that simply don't have the physical console space to accomodate the big ticket units with extra features.
