Airmapper - ? WR8Y - thanks for the tip. BTW I am using it and trying to accept it, but it is a liitle difficult since the one thing I think is AWESOME is not available.

Are you looking to buy? I purchased a H2OC and mapcreate software BEFORE doing much research. The one feture I THINK I want most is not available in Lowrance models ("routing" or "on the fly" turn by turn directions from point A - point B ) Let me know if you are interested.

Is that units, software, or both? If software only, is there another manuf. that is compatible with Lowrance units? Anyone interested in a H2O C and MapCreate software? Purchased on 8/19/06.

I just purchased the H2O C and MapCreate 6 USA TOPO software. My neighbor has a 60csx (?) with unknown software. After watching him use his, I decided the larger screen would be nice so i went my own way. Here is the issue i have: When he selects a place to go (anywhere) and then tells it to "map", the unit calculates and then gives him a detailed route with driving directions ie... turn left in 1.2 miles, go on highway ** for 45 miles, etc.. (kinda like you get from Yahoo or Google maps) When I do the same (at least I believe I am doing it correctly), I get a pretty pink STRAIGHT line from point A to point B, and no detail at all. I am trying to use it for driving directions. Am I missing something or is this the best it gets. I have "skimmed" the manual for the unit and software but this is very frustrating. Is there an Airplane mode that I am in? Is this unit capable of this type of detail? Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!
