Need help?
Do you have a question about the Elite-7 Combo and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
How do I set For course over ground up so if i am heading North the land is on my right and heading south the land is on my left
The Lowrance Elite-7 Combo does not provide a direct setting to configure the course over ground to have land on the right when heading North and on the left when heading South. To achieve this orientation, you must plan your route using waypoints placed accordingly on the chart to follow the coastline with land positioned as desired. Use the "Goto cursor" or create a route from the waypoint list or chart to guide navigation along that path.
