Move went fine. The new server is much faster. Which is good!

I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

I'm not trying to rush winter. I'm sure some semblance of winter is on the way. That means we are approaching the 2026 Ultimate Sport Show Tour - the three biggest fishing and outdoor sport shows in Michigan!

Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

Navigating with a Humminbird 698 CI HD SI Combo

Probably a dumb question: But on every other GPS I have ever owned (this is my first HB) the map view included a Steer Arrow and Distance to Waypoint indicator.  I can find nothing like this on the HB.  So with only a 5" screen it is really difficult to see where I'm navigating, without a steer arrow or course indicator of some kind.  Anyone own one?  What am I missing?  I would happily trade this unit for all the accessories I need to get my old Lowrance 480 up and running again.  I am only using this unit for navigation since I have a larger side finder.  Anyone got any ideas about how to set this thing up a little better?

I have an 998 and 898 but I think all birds use the same method.  There should be a little boat / triangle symbol that is you.   I set mine to Course Up so the arrow is always pointing to where you are headed.   When you set Go To a waypoint is should display a line to the point and your position on the line. The distance to or time to point should be displayed.
I can show you Saturday Morning if you want.
