Members,

      I just got delivery  of a new Lowrance 2000c yesterday and so far I have only been able to figure out  how to find my position on the ground.  I seem to remember someone on the  net said he has one of these and loves it.  Right now I hate mine because I  cant figure out how to program it to go from one airport to another.  What  I would like and very much appreciate is someone who owns one of these little  monsters provide me with step by step (being careful not to miss a step)  instruction on which buttons to push to go from Skylark Field, Killeen, Tx to  Enid Regional Airport, Enid, Oklahoma.

      For those of you  who don't know about this web site, you can get the three digit code for all US  Airports.  Here is the URL

                                          http://www.airnav.com/airports/

Bob,

   

  Piece of cake.  I'm away from home now but get in the manual and go to "plan a route".  There you can name your path and enter those identifiers as your way points.....when I get some Saturday you can call me if you like and we'll step through it......

Hi Bob,

  

 The guy who loves his 2000C was (and is) me. It's  not really all that tough if you take a little time to read the manual. For  instance, when you are at your home strip and turn it on, it will "find itself"  in about 2 - 3 minutes. When the airplane icon quits flashing, it has found its  location (and, of course, yours as well unles you wandered away from the plane).  

  

 To get a course to any destination, press the FIND  button then use the arrow buttons to enter the designator code for the  destination airport and select GO TO. Voila! You will return to the map screen  of your present location with a nice red line to follow to the destination. Read  the instructions.... you will find out how to display useful data on the map  screen, such as distance to your destination, bearing to it, ground speed, ALT,  ETE at your present speed and ground track, and even a nifty CDI graphic. You  can choose up to eight data windows to display at the bottom of the map screen.  

  

 On the other hand, if you really don't want to  spend time reading the manual, you might want to return it...... there is s  learning curve to deal with.

Bob,

 You  may already know this but Lowrance have an emulator for the 2000c that you can  run on a PC. Its available at:  

 http://www.lowrance.com/Software/PCSoftware/Install/AirMap2000C/AirMap2000C_demo.asp

 Looks  like a handy way to explore the features.

Rick,

      Thanks for the  response and information.  I will call you tomorrow, Saturday but you  didn't include your phone number.  When you send your phone number,  include the best time to call.

Bob, I received my 2kc a couple weeks ago and it is a bit difficult to start off. That and the tech guy at the plant in Tulsa was lacking somewhat. I recommend you purchase the CD that teaches step by step near everything you are asking. I needed mine and I'm still learning from it. The factory tech couldn't tell me how to get from the green terrain screen to the yellow nav screen shown on the box. Working with it I figured out you could turn off Terrain Awareness to switch back to the yellow. I still have questions, but the CD is a good helper. I bought mine from Marv Golden in Cal. Best regards and good luck, Bill
