[Motorcycle Skin] Motorcycle Skin

[Mark Feit]

Guys,

I have a couple of MC-Skin related items for you:

I've started a mailing list for announcements and discussion about the
skin.  If you'd like to sign up, visit

I'd also like some feedback on a change I'm about to make to the
"Quick Picks" page.  If the volume is at its lowest setting and you
press the "Volume Down" button, a bug in the firmware causes it to
wrap around to full volume.  I see this as a potential safety problem
because you can get quite a jolt if you're not expecting it.

There are two ways I can get around it.  One is to move the "Address
Book" button and convert the whole left column of buttons into a
volume slider.  The other is to to make the "Volume Down" button a
"Volume Zero" button.  This would put the volume at its lowest
setting, and then you'd have to use the "Volume Up" to set the level
you'd like.

I'm inclined to take the "Volume Zero" route until Lowrance fixes the
firmware since you can operate it without having to look at the
screen and it works better with gloves on.  Your thoughts?
