Has anyone else had this issue and has anyone ever been able to find a fix? In my mind it should only be a simple software fix more than likely from Lowrance and not MotorGuide. They should communicate with each other in Harmony and yet they don't. This causes me a freaking migraine when I try to set waypoints on the Lowrance and then it takes you in completely different directions then what you have programmed in. This would be fantastic except, for when you do that your chart on the Lowrance doesn't match up, not even a fraction with the GPS signals from the MotorGuide motor. It seems that it is impossible to get the MotorGuide to work correctly with the Lowrance fish finder when it comes to routing and trails because they want you to use, the MotorGuide only GPS on their motor and not the one on the Lowrance unit. I don't want to have to write a story so I'll try to make this as short as possible. And I keep getting conflicting information. It seems like MotorGuide and Lowrance technicians don't have a lot of good things to say about each other. There are a whole bunch of videos out there showing how great the system is and how it will take you where you want to go and you don't have to worry about it but I have had nothing but nightmares and problems for the past year. I like the trolling motor just fine when it's on its own but my whole purpose of buying this system was that I could use it for routing and trails, so I can pay more attention to my fishing and not worry about the driving. I bought a Lowrance HDS 9 Generation 3 fish finder and a new MotorGuide xi3 pinpoint GPS trolling motor. I don't normally join forums anymore but I feel I need to in the hopes that someone out there may have an answer for me. Kayak, Kick Boat, and Belly Boat Anglers.
