    There ya go assuming that I actually catch fish! :ROFLMAO:🤪 Here's the link to the actual unit I ordered. I got another $100 off for military discount plus a coupon I had. 😁 https://www.basspro.com/p/lowrance-eagle-eye-9-fish-finder-with-live-sonar-and-c-map-us-inland-charts

    Well, what I was looking for suddenly appeared on my FB feed. Lowrance Eagle Eye 9. Went to BPS online and checked it out. Just what I wanted. Has the usual CHIRP stuff, but also includes Forward Facing Sonar and charts. It's an entry level unit, which fits my needs exactly. Ordered it a...

    I was able to adjust the sensitivity of my Active Cruise Control radar. I changed it to "Late" which really made a difference. For example, this morning I was driving along and a big pickup pulling a work trailer pulled out in front of me, about 125 feet ahead on the right. He was moving...

    Back in 1972 I was living in Ohio and went down to visit my dad in West Palm Beach. Stayed a couple months. While there, he told me that he sold his beautiful Browning Auto-5 12 gauge shotgun. It had 3 different sized barrels and the velvet lined presentation case. He sold it for dirt...

    Well DUH! 🤪 I was reading the manual some more last night and found that I can dig deeper into the menus and adjust the sensitivity of the ACC. The actual menu doesn't match the manual, but I get the gist. I have a lot of running around to do today, so will give it a workout. I'll also see...

    I definitely need to get my radar braking checked out. I was on my way to the gym this morning and a car 100' ahead of me made a right turn onto an adjoining road. My truck hit the brakes after the car had turned and was well clear of the regular lane. Annoying. :rolleyes:

    During the incident that I mentioned back in Post #557, my truck hit the brakes so hard that the ABS was activated. The car behind me slammed on their brakes and ended up about a foot behind me. My prior Trucklet was a 2022 Santa Cruz. It didn't have Active Cruise Control but it did have that...

    I have the paper manual, plus a .pdf file of it as well. ACC, if properly designed and installed, can work quite well. Maybe the dealer will figure it out.

    Thanks. I entered my info and it said Vehicle not found! :LOL: However, I have RTFM and watched a bunch of videos with no success. To clarify for everyone, I'm talking about being able to switch from Active Cruise Control (the smart version) to standard cruise by pushing a button. So far...

    Regular cruise with my current vehicle isn't available. I wish it was. :cautious:

    Yeah, they have radar detection for obstacles. Mine is too sensitive and has inappropriately hit the brakes a couple of times. Like when a vehicle pulled out into an adjoining lane last week. I was completely clear, but it hit the brakes anyway. I'm able to turn that feature off, but it...

    I've had adaptive cruise control with my new 2026 Trucklet for a couple months now. I don't like it. I'd had it before on a 2013 Genesis and that one was fine. My prior 2022 Trucklet had regular cruise only, which I liked a lot. And I can't "turn it down" to a regular cruise on this vehicle...

    I'm watching Fox News Sunday and they just gave a report about how soldiers in the field who do not have a maintenance background can download 1000 hours of maintenance videos to smart glasses. Using generative AI, it allows them to fix vehicles in the field. I guess it'll eventually be...

    Pretty much the same for me. I have a Garmin Striker 4+ mounted at the helm on my boat as my only unit. I'd like to have a bigger screen unit there and move the small one to the trolling motor. But that would leave me with the low feature unit up front. I was thinking maybe I need two big...

    Anybody doing any boating or fishing related shopping? I almost pulled the trigger on a new fish finder. Almost. :sneaky:
