Lowrance IFinder Plot Trails

[+Cheval]

The Lowrance IFinder has

quote:

---

10 savable plot trails/10,000 points per trail

---

When the trails are saved, is the timedate stamp saved with each point?

 

On a related note, if somebody has a USR file with a plot trail in it that you downloaded a saved trail on, I'd love to have the file and play around with it.

 

Thanks,

That is a huge track log memory!

I'll make sure to check for time stamp next time I'm out with the iFinder.

 

Y'know, the iFinder doesn't get much respect on these boards, but I have had nothing but positive experiences with mine. With Map Create 6 you can load extremely detailed streetmaps with searchable POI. If they would just come out with a topo disk I'd be set. I do wish Lowrance had built a more rugged and waterproof case.

Well, I just spent a lot of time on the IFinder Yahoo Group reading a lot of their stored messages. Here is part of one message I found. It was posted in July 2003.

iFinder does not store time nor altitude with the track record. It is a very useful feature that AFAIK Lowrance could add with a firmware update but they are not going to unless many customers demand it. So, people, DEMAND IT.

As of the newest firmware release (1.6), this functionality still isn't available. So I'll email Lowrance and be done with it. If they ever do add the timestamp to the track points, I'll be buying my first Lowrance unit.
