LMS 68C for LMS 332C

[TSCTSC]

Dear all,

I have been using the LMS 68c for a couple of weeks now and I am not very happy with it. I think I would do better with the LMS 332C. Do you think Gander Mountain would allow me to return the 68 for the 332? I think it all boils down to the fact that I have to keep switching screens and it is just not as functional for navigation and marking spots. Also the auto depth range often goes on the blink and it will show a depth range of 800 feet. Thanks!

They should let you do that, they have a 30 day return policy on their electronics, and if you have a reciept you should have no problem. Just drop it off at the customer service desk when you walk in, have a sales associate get you a 332, and exchange it at the counter. I used to work at Gander 2 years ago and we had that happen a few times and were happy to do it for the customer. I'm just speaking from what the policy was 2 years ago, so I'm sorry if it has changed.

Also, that 332 is a sweet unit! I absolutely love it! Hopefully they have one left, as Lowrance is out of them and way behind getting them to the retailers.

I agree with the post above! The will take it back if it's within 30 days for sure. Also, I have the 332c and love it!

I have been out a few times with my LM332C and love it. One thing I would like to do is be able to insert icons while in split screen mode ( sonar/map). Any ideas on how to do this without first switching to full map view?

Yes....that is one of my grouses with the 68c. I had to leave the sonor or the split screen mode to get to the full screen to put in my icons. I do not like that.

Sitting at my computer at work makes it a little harder to describe than if I was sitting in front of the 332, but here it goes. When you have the split screens, hit the page button twice in a row, so the map screen shows "Active Map" You should then have all the controls that you would have if you only had the map screen up. You can edit trails, mark waypoints, and label waypoints, and everything else. I had to ask your same question about a month ago and the page, page pressing did the trick.

You can download the LMS 332C emulator from the Lowrance HSOforum and practice all you want right on your PC. Just don't let the boss catch you!

Thanks for the help - the page butoon pressed 2X does the trick! I had forgotten that I had downloaded the emulator.
