    Thank you
    Probably the first to explain exactly what the Puck actually does.

    Adding a NMEA 2000 backbone and a SteadyCast heading sensor was a game changer for me. I can now orient my maps to my boat.

    The Point-1 is every single penny worth it! 👍👍
    I'm using it for years now and fishing and approaching waypoints is a bless now. ❤️

      @@FishinwithSquirrel you did a great job. I had seen them but had no clue why. You really explained well and in depth. And using the buoy as a brush pile example was genius

    On a Garmin, you can use GPS, GLONAS, Galileo all at the same getting an error rate down to 5 feet. Many people are not aware of this feature and then add a $140 SteadyCast

    Hi there!
    Im fishing on a kayak and got Elite FS and Im thinking about to buy point 1 antena. I want to ask something:
    I noticed that there's a 3-4 secs delay on my GPS movements. I mean I'm on my way to a way point and once stop completely the GPS still moving and that's so annoying so I wonder if point 1 antena will solve that problem.
    Good vid BTW 👌

    • @FishinwithSquirrel
      @FishinwithSquirrel  2 роки тому +2

      The GPS works off of movement only. That’s how the map shows your direction, only when you move. The delay may be a result of the signal your unit is receiving. A point 1 will help with both. It’s has an internal compass to keep your orientation correct on the map. You will also get a stronger signal so your error/ accuracy will be a lot tighter. Thanks for the view!🐿

    • @FishinwithSquirrel
      @FishinwithSquirrel  2 роки тому +1

      Just to be clear. The point one will not completely take the delay you are talking about away. It’s not so much a delay as it not being accurate down to a foot. If you turn on the track feature on your unit and stay parked to a dock, you will not see a single dot. It will set a lot of jumbled circles like you are moving around. This is because it’s not perfectly accurate. The point one will be a little better but still not perfect. However, when you are sitting still, the point 1 will keep your curser from spinning around like a top on your map if you have North up. If you have heading up like I run on my map, it will keep the map from spinning all over the place when you are sitting still. Just wanted to clarify becausea point 1 is about $200 bucks and I don’t want you to be dissatisfied. I love mine and would buy another if it messed up. Don’t forget the Point 1 runs off of the NMEA 2000 network. So, You will need a NEMA starter kit ($70) has everything you need, cables, power cable, and tees.

    Hello!! I would like to ask a question about point-1!
    When I installed point-1 on my elite fs9, and was ready to calibrate,
    I found that the rate of turn was already 5-6 degrees,
    but my boat was tied to the shore and didn't move! What is the reason?

    • @FishinwithSquirrel
      @FishinwithSquirrel  2 роки тому +1

      Be sure your point one is not mounted around anything magnetic 🧲 ex carbon steel ect. Check your location with a compass. Then calibrate in the middle of the lake away from bridges. Bridges are full of steel. Hope this helps. 🐿

    If mounted next to the graph will it couse interferance

    • @FishinwithSquirrel
      @FishinwithSquirrel  2 роки тому +2

      I mounted my point 1 at the back of the boat by the transducer for accuracy when marking waypoints. I would check the location with a standard compass. If there is no magnet interference then you should be good.
