Lowrance help: mark an area (an MPA for example)

I do not know about that particular unit, so someone familiar with it will give you better info, but, I would look for a way to enter LAT/LONG. coordinates. Make sure to enter them in the same format your unit expects, or is set up for. For instance, the Southwest Matlahuayl SMR boundary point at :

32deg 51.067min N
-117deg 16.400min W

The boundary points are easily available from the web. Between the points, straight lines usually connect them, but some have curved boundaries. All this is probably not needed if you purchased your unit with maps such as BlueChart, or another.

I'm sure good info will follow from others. Good luck

Create waypoint. Enter lat/long. I like to use the skull and crossbones for mpla boundaries.

Bought Navionics + for $150. It shows it all very clearly.

If your unit can take a memory card, bankrobber over at BD has created free MPA chart overlays you can download.

Worked great on my HDS, but it might depend on what unit you have.

Yep, this is exactly what I did with my HDS. I now have every mlpa in california boxed in and it took no more than 15 minutes. That dude on BD did the hard part.
