'Learning Problem' ....

Uh-Huh... So you're saying that nothing in the 688i 'basics' is applicable ? Wow...

I don't mind reading the manual.. but it IS a little easier to read a 'simpler' one.

It takes a bit of time you cant expect to know everything over night, ive been a vet of sub command and DW been playing them well subcommand since about 2000, both sub command and DW are similar so i didnt have a problem transfering skills.

Its now been around 6 years that ive been playing these games and i cannot claim i know everything because i dont, theres people out there that can take me on and win theres people out there who have beaten me in games, theres people out there more tacticaly aware then me and have better skills in some areas.

My skill is navigation not sonar some are sonar and weapons so you got to learn to adapt to everything.

Yes, there's got to be a 'start' for everything, that's for sure. I had sure hoped that would be the simple act of 'reading' the sonar! Heck, I even surfaced and used the Radar better !!!

Oh, well...

I dunno what was wrong, but I un-installed DW completely.. re-installed and patched it, and 'yes'... now my BB Sonar in the DW 688i works. I suppose the lesson is to buy a case of suds.. wait for a solid rainy day, GET MY 'HIGH-LIGHTER' OUT, and start slugging my way through..... that pile of pages.

Ah... the joys....

Oh well, the sooner you get started reading the manual the sooner you'll have a great time with DW!

There's nothing better then learning hard and seing that it was worth the time
