changing default poi's on map screen I still can't figure out how to change the category of poi's displayed on the right side of the screen while navigating- mine is defaulting to gas stations only.

Using "manage POI", select first the major category, such as "pharmacy" and you'll notice at the lower left it will say either "show" or "hide". If it says "hide", it's already enabled to show up. If it says, "show", press the "show" button once and it is added to the displayed list. You can go through the entire POI database enabling/disabling the POI's shown and once you return to the map, it will update the list. So, no, you are not limited to just gas stations!

Dear Ms. Mason,You can customize the map after purchase but the manufacturer is not able to offer any custom options.Regards, Marcus Moir, 1st Stop Travel Store

you can put in three separate locations by first going to the locations and then designating which of the three location options you want for it. then you can switch to any of the three at any time. the device only shows direction to travel as the crow flies,and distance. it is NOT like a garmin GPS which tell you where to turn. it only points you in the direction of one of the three locations you have entered and it will show distance but you have to figure out the paths to take.

I have the same issue so I emailed the seller asking him about the lifetime map updates that I couldn't find the website. He responded back with the unit already had the newest map installed and he would send me the link when a new update comes out.

If you want to hard reset just hold the button down for 3 seconds. Also POI can be added easily. There are tons of tutorials online to add new POI's. Also there is an easy way to add POI's by just clicking any location. I don't think you've ever used this unit. It also has over 1 million POI's already installed. It uses a usb to charge so just plug it into a laptop or any cell phone usb charger. I've installed MioPocket on my unit so now it will play 8 different kinds of movie files and surf the internet.

Yes, you can "Set location" for somewhere else, but I don't recall how to do that. I guess find the address, and maybe the "Set location" option pops up then?But mine finds satellites fairly quickly, even if it's been turned off. If it takes more than 5 minutes, turn it off and start over. Mine usually finds them in a minute or less. I think it does it faster if you turn it on before you start moving.HTHS--

The topo map is only visible if you turn off the base map. I think it's Settings, Map, Map Info, then you touch the checkbox to un check it.However, you may not bother with all this, since the topos are much cruder than the old-fashioned paper maps.

On the screen where the hole number is displayed, touch the number in the upper right hand corner. A number pad will come up. Touch the number of the hole you want and the gps will relocate. For more numbers, scroll the screen up or down.

Yes, all three of the POI's you mentioned are installed on the TT One 3rd maps. You do not need to enter the address to go there. Just search for a POI of interest then select and let the GPS navigate you there.

With this unit you can mark your waypoints as you travel, so you can return to your starting place using the way points you entered earlier. You could also enter know waypoints from a map such as google earth. A built in topo. map is not part of this unit.

I don't know what you mean by "display on a map", but i have had my backtracker for 2-3 months and i haven't had to replace the batteries yet. it can store up to three seperate locations in memory. it does not use 1,2,3 or a,b,c for the seperate locations. it uses "home" , "car" , and "star". but you can use them for anywhere.you don't have to use the "home" location for your home. it can be a parking spot at the mall if you wish,just as long as you remember which designation you use for a particular location. also it is not like a garmin GPS that shows maps or roads. all it does is mark a spot you designate,then when you go away from that spot,it will point to the spot and show distance to it but you have to figure out the turns to take. it points in the direction as the crow flies.

While in Chart (map) view, go to Menu -> Overlay Data -> Configure. Then choose Speed Over Ground (SOG). By default it is hidden, set it to whatever size you want it displayed on the screen and then choose 'Done Configuring'

There is a map setting in the garmin to turn maps on or off. You can not have lake mapps on and see the contours of the land. You have to shut off lake maps from displaying to see land contours.

Not sure if I totally understand your question, but I will try to answer what I think you are asking. When you are starting out on a new route, erase the route that is currently programmed. To do this, touch Menu, and then touch Stop (bottom right corner i believe). Now you are ready to set your new destination and the GPS will route you from where you currently are to the destination you select.

There are four screen options:Chart plotter full screenFish finder full screenSplit screen (horizontal or vertical)Navigation screen showing a compass imageI will be using the full screen chart plotter screen most of the time. To one side speed, bearing, etc.are displayed as well. You can download the manual from lowrance.com to see everything it does. The only negative is only two transducer types ara available for this unit- transom mount and flat inside hull mount (no deadrise). We are using the transom mount and its working great on our deep V hull.

It doesn't have a data screen like the earlier models---the "where am I" screen which gave all sorts of information about altitude and even latitude & longitude. This model has none of that, however when you program in the address of your destination, it does show the distance and time of arrival. If it's a long trip and stops are made for lunch, gas, etc. it will recalculate the time of arrival. The one nice feature of this model is that it no longer says the irritating "recalculating," instead it merely tells you what you need to do to correct a wrong tunn and then when you're back on track, it tells you to "continue on route."
