All right I have it sorted out now, not happy about it but the colors for land and water are just barely different when you zoom in on the Nautic Path Charts, the unit and chip are working the way they are supposed to.
Turns out the pics I saw of the screen with the better graphics are not Nautic Path but are Navionics Gold Charts and I have one on order now.
I'll keep the Nautic for when I travel out of the Gold Chart area because it does give you a lot of info for anywhere on the eastern half of the country.
Live and learn, Lowrance displays their machine not with a Lowrance chip (nautic path) but a after market chip ::)
Anyhow I saw the Navionics Gold display on my unit WOW
If any of you guys are looking for a top notch display and info and have the Lowrance 3500C get the Gold Chart and skip the nautic path ;)
