Lowrance H20 Waypoint Symbol

[buzbunni]

I'm sure that there is an easy solution to this, but I've looked back and forth throughout the H20 Manual, and I can't seem to figure out how to choose a default symbol when saving a waypoint?

When I decide to save a waypoint I get the "fish" symbol. No big deal, as I'm usually angling when I'm using the H20, but for those times when I would like to use another symbol as the default....how do I select that? (note: I do know how to edit/change the symbol after it has been saved, what I'm looking for is symbol selection should I use quicksave, etc. I don't want the fish symbol first off everytime.)

Thanks all.

If you hold down the save button for a longer period of time, it should pop up. I don't have mine right in front of me, but I;m pretty sure that's how it works. Just gotta hold that button down until the symbols show up. Let me know if I'm right.

My H20C uses the last waypoint symbol chosen as a default. So once I change the symbol, it will continue to use that symbol for every waypoint until I explicitly change it again.

Mine does that as well.

how does everyone like the H20s? I was looking at picking up the grayscale model. Seen another thread that someone has had 3 lowrance units and all went bad just after warranty ran out.

nevermind...looks like people like them (from another thread). only thing is the lakemaster chip has 1-10 crow wing lakes but not 11th, which is the only one i fish. lame.

I saw that not even a DNR Map of 11th. I am pretty impressed with the rest of chain's Lakemaster Mapping though.

I fish 8th mainly but have hit some of the others in the chain.

to change the icon. when you save a way point, you have choices in the save function. you have - go to, find on map, edit name, and edit symbol. you can edit the symbol even after you have saved your way point. so you can save it later with a different icon when you are at home.

so, you have place to save.. you press Enter/ save. the screen changes to the screen showing your position with the choices. press the arrow key to the left or right. it will give you the options I mentioned above. save according to your choice.

I like my H2O. except it has to stay warm . The only thing about the H2O is if you want to check the time it won't tell you unless it has a signal. A garmine will tell you time it is with just turning it on even if it hasn't found your position.
