Lowrance H2OC question

[WinterHaven]

Is there an easier way to find your waypoint on these units? This is what I did yesterday ice fishing. Got on the ice and hit find my waypoint on the unit then hit by name and then choose my way point and then enter. The only thing that appears on my unit is in the lower right hand corner of the screen is an arrow and how far you are from your waypoint. This would be fine for me but as I got within 100 feet from my way point I would walk in the direction that it would tell me and after I got to 75 feet from it the distance and feet would start going up and then the arrow would point in a different direction telling me I was 115 feet away. This was very frustrating I was walking in circles before I would even get to my spot. Is there a different screen that I could use to get me to a spot very easily? It can't be this hard to get to a waypoint. Thanks for any advise.

the easiest way i've found so far is i just click menu then choose go to cursor....i put the cursor where i want to go and hit the button and it takes me there...i'm no pro though i'm a newb with these things but that is a pretty simple way i've found so far.

Turn on your screen courser. A little arrow that stays on your screen. Can't recall where its at but its in there someplace. Or choose go to waypoint and a red line apears just follow the red line.

When you hit find waypoint you can also find the nearest - that pulls up a list of them that are closest to you ---- you select the one you want off the list.

When you're on your way to your waypoint, press the PAGES button and you'll get to a navigation screen that's only there when you're navigating. Use that screen and your map screen to navigate. Zoom in and out on your map screen as necessary. When you're navigating on the map there should be a dashed or dotted line that shows the way to go to your waypoint if it's off the screen.

I will try pressing the pages button, I have never done that so hopefully that will work better for me. The way I am doing it has to be the hardest way.

Quick unrelated question : would the h2o be sufficiant enough or is the color a big advantage in the h2o c ? for a hundred dollars difference it has and does the same functions right? thanks

I would go color. I looked into my nephews B&W and it was not for me.

color!

The color for sure also you might have to move a little distance before you move to your desired location. What i mean is sometimes it will say 100ft but once you start walking it will pin point your position and show you the way there like say 68 feet to your left.

When you click "Find" initially and select by name, the default option at the bottom is "Go To", this is why you are just getting the little arrow on the bottom of the screen. I prefer to change "Go To" to "Find on Map". This option simply dispays the waypoint and you can navigate there yourself. As for the color question, I think it is worth its weight in gold! Much better contrast for picking up the contour lines and easier to read I night I have found. I ended up going with the Expedition C which is a H2O C with built in compass and barometric altimeter. All great units though.

I would go color as well. I had a B&W version and took it back for the color.
