The GPS refresh rates on Lowrance HDS units come from the factory with a default auto setting. This auto setting adjusts the GPS refresh rate based on your speed. Some settings work pretty well from the factory, but this is not one of them. If youre speeding down the lake, the refresh rate is fast. If youre idling slowly down a ledge, the refresh rate is very slow and does not update the micro movements. This causes serious update delays
causing your unit to live in the past. If precise boat positioning is important to you and it should be you want real time updates.
The best way to get around these slow refresh rates is by going into the Waypoints, Routes, and Trails menu.
1) Press Page
2) Press the right arrow on the cursor pad to scroll over to Waypoints, Routes and Trails
3) Use the arrows to select trails and hit the menu button.
4) Use the cursor pad to highlight settings, then press the enter button
5) Change the logging type to Time
6) Finally, set the time to 1 sec. Press close and exit out. Jason, what if you have an LGC 4000 antenna? Is this just for the internal antennas found on the units?

Bobby,  Just for safety reasons I think you should put some GPS coordinates on these pics.  Just kiddin man! Thanks for the help. LOL!!!  I just realize that you do! Those GPS coords would be on the maps you sell. My bad man. I guess I should pay a little closer attention! 
 Wish All Fair Weather And Tight Lines!

If I am wrong please feel free to correct me!
2. There is a option on one of the menu pages that says "screen capture", mark that bubble on. Then when you want to take a pic push the power button one time (do not hold it down), just push it once. It'll take a sec and then say screen captured. To find the pic go through the pages menu to the info page and at the bottom you will see files, go there to see saved info.
I have an add on question to this. I have my mapping card in my HDS, can I still take a screen shot and have it saved, or do I have to remove my map card and put in a blank card to take screen shots? Good question and Dayne gave the correct answer. But for any other new users here is some more info on recording on the unit. If you have a blank sd card in the unit you can record your: si, di, & 2d to either the blank card or to internal memory. If running a map card you will have to make sure it's to internal. That's for the 5 & 7, not sure how it works on the 8 & 10 since they have 2 slots. Anybody have any more pics?

A little more on sonar logging: If you log to the head you won't get much time before it fills up the memory so you really should have a card dedicated to logging info if you are going to do much of it. I run hds8s and keep the map card in slot 2. I have a dedicated card for each unit which I keep in at all times and usually start a recording when I hit the water. I watch them to see what I have missed during the day. I like to play them back in the boat using the simulator where I can get 2d, down, side and the chart at the same time. If I see some good rocks or brush piles I can look on the chart to see if I have a wpt. If not, then I can mark it for the next time I am on that lake.  Here is what I assume to be a big cat that swam under my boat one day.

I had one and didn't like it. The 4000 updates 5X per second. I have only used it a couple of times but it seems to be better.
