Helix 10 Shallow Highlight Issue

Hey everyone,

Has anybody ran into the issue where you set the shallow depth highlight and it highlights the shallow area and the deepest parts of the lake? I will set mine to 5 and it shades the deepest parts of the lake red… I can’t figure it out for the life of me, hoping someone here has some insight.

From what I’ve been told it is a know error that is supposed to be addressed in a future update. Super annoying.

Thanks for the quick response! I’ve been running Helix for years but just upgraded to the Helix 10 and noticed it for the first time. I thought I may have found a hidden map setting or turned something on and couldn’t find it again. Not the end of the world, but I definitely don’t like it when I’m ripping across a newish lake and I have all these shallow areas that are actually deep holes haha.

I’m thinking about going back to the version before the new release, has anyone else tried that?

I found the issue and now I understand what they meant.

I say software updates are always sketchy, especially from companies that aren’t true software companies that just tinker in embedded sw. If a particular vintage of sw works, stick with it until you know there is something you need in a future update, or you get the be the guinnea pig that finds issues like this…
