Title: Manual way point entry is not being retained after powered off. Helix 5
Post by: emerald ghost on July 31, 2016, 05:45:44 PM

I have a Helix 5 and every time I manually enter a way point it accepts it, BUT when I turn the unit off and then back on. it disappears.
HELP !!

In the waypoint edit menu ...

*Is the waypoint set to "Visible" ... ?)

*Are you in fact selecting "Save" at the bottom ... ??

Yes, I did all the above.
I have the unit inside the house and without the transducer hooked up.
Wonder if this matters ?

Make sure you are not in demo mode ..... you can turn that off as an option.

You want to be in force simulator mode.
