Map Fix - Lowrance Fish Finder Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

Map Fix

Map Fix is used with charts or maps. This system asks for a reference
position in latitude/longitude, which you take from a marked location
on the map. It then shows the present position as distance on the map
from that reference point.
For example, if it shows a distance of UP 4.00" and LEFT 0.50", you
then measure up four inches and to the left a half-inch from the refer-
ence point on the map to find your location.
To configure a map fix:
1. Take your map of the area and determine a reference lati-
tude/longitude.
NOTE:
Please note that in order for this system to work, the lati-
tude/longitude lines must be parallel with the edge of the map.
USGS maps are parallel, others may not be. Also, this works better
with smaller scale maps.
2. Once you have picked a reference position, save it as a waypoint. Press
repeatedly to return to the main display.
