Taking the dogs for their daily walk, I got to thinking about the new Lowrance HDS touch screen GPSs that people have been inquiring about.
Wondering how they function in the cold? Two concerns. One, the touch screen on my smart phone gets funky when exposed to the extreme cold. Secondly, the digital gauges for my E-tec (made by Lowrance) do not function below freezing. At least until the light bulb heats them up for 15 minutes or so. In speaking to BRP about the gauges, they never expected anyone to operate the outboard in below freezing temperatures.

Wonder if they took this into account when switching to touch screen technology? I would certainly want this answered before I jumped on board.
