What comp can monitor 20 tanks?. With HD you can control 3.

seano- how were the maps? Accurate? Details? True to life?

Why would a dive computer that advertises itself as HD have a display that looks like something out of a 1980 Atari 400? Where are the 3-D look and feel? Is this even HD resolution?
Do they have air integration where I can tell it to start monitoring a sensor from a certain tank? If I am carrying 20 tanks, and air integration is only for 1 tank, then their mixed gas and air integration capability falls short.
What I am saying is that they got this lighted color high resolution screen, and all they do with it is make these really blockly and squarish views. They could have given the compass a 3D gauge look, the deco depth in color gradiant getting darker toward the bottom to signify it inidicate depth. The depth dial could have looked like a real dial, etc. I know other modes has fancier graphics like map or graph mode, but one is rarely in those modes. It might make it more useful, or it might just be esthetics. I know when I use my computer and it goes into some weird mode that I rarely encountered, I would get confused since I have rarely or never seen it. I guess a similar situation with this computer is the missed deco mode where one doesn't know if they should go back down, deco at this level or continue up, something more descriptive would probably be good.The display is the forte of this computer. While not high def by computer standards, compared to dot-matrix black LCD dive computers this display is much higher resolution.
As far as monitoring different tanks my understanding is that you get up to three pressure modules and switch to monitor one of the three. If you're carrying 20 tanks you're beyond the capability of rec computers. Are there other AI computers that allow switching among 20 tanks?
That is mutch to often! Specialy when the charge connector is that bad.
Is it changed already?
There's now also an air integrated one, anyone experiance?
I just recently purchased the Icon HD Net Ready. The transmitter stopped working after about 4 dives. The computer continued to function but I wasn't getting any air pressure reading. I didn't get a low transmitter battery warning, but I replaced the battery on the hope that was the problem and sure enough, my air pressure readings came right back. I also found the compass was right on the money (although I still don't trust it because it's digital.)
