    I really want this view on my Solix and I cannot figure out how. The templates for building a custom view do not have one that is in thirds vertically. Am I just missing something?

    thanks

    It is actually in half not thirds and the pane size for si has been made wider.

    How do you alter the pane size? I have not figured out how to do that.

    Apparently you can not change the pane size on the Solix, but you can on a Helix. Which imho is really dumb. Would be a deal breaker for me. Only other option would be to put side imaging to left in left pane side imaging to right on middle pane and map on right pane to make it look like the picture.

    Aye. I don’t think there’s an all vertical thirds option, either. sad

    I find myself continually disappointed with all the gotchas on these things.

    Back when I was shopping for a unit I was under the impression the Solix was basically the exact same thing as a Helix just with the touchscreen.

    In my humblest of opinions, I think in a few years when I’m shopping for a new unit Garmin will be #1. Their R&D budget and software development teams are going to slingshot them past the historically dominant players. whistling

    Manuals are available to read prior to purchase.

    Google searches are free too.

    Gotcha moments lol. More like lack of research bites again. Solix is the oddest thing humminbird made in many ways.

    Bummer they are pretty expensive to not be able to change window pane size…
