Headhunter Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 I continue with my love hate relationship with Lorwrance. Does anyone know how to change the size/color or the cursor? I lose the little black triangle on the FMT back ground. Thanks in advance all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh141 Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 It can not be changed as per Lowrance Support. I Went down that road with them a couple months ago. I also ask them if a future update might add the ability to change it and was told they did not currently have that on the menu. If memory servers me correctly Earlier versions like my HDS Gen 2 you could change the icon. I would love to just change it to white. I learned to turn on Look Ahead. It helps. I know the little black triangle will always be in the center lower area of the screen. Look Ahead is intended to give you more time to respond or a better look as to whats ahead I guess. For me it helps me find that little black triangle. If there are any Pro Staff for Lowrance on here, this is a good improvement to pass to your Rep. for the next software update.

triplec Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Call Glenn at FMT and pose the question to him. He usually answers and if there is a work around he is the guy who found it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted June 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 As suggested I called Glenn at FMT and there is nothing you can do is the 2d mode but if you enable 3d a center console boat pots up about 3 times the size of the little black triangle. I have not run the boat with 3d enabled but the chart looks the same. It almost looks like a garmin icon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I was referring to in the early models of Lowrance I have owned. It is quite confusing to me that when I contacted Lowrance and ask them they did not offer that information. Thank You Triplec for suggesting!!! Thank You Headhunter for following through!!!! I have FMT and never thought to call Glenn. Going to the boat now to check it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPizzle Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 I use it under 3d for the very reason of the boat icon. The little black triangle is hard to see when in thick mangroves especially with the FMT background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
