I turned my guide lines on and after zooming in to hook up to the boat they went away. I reset lines after I zoomed out and they have been there since. Seems odd that they disappreaed when I zoomed in.

After mine initially disappeared over a week ago, they have stayed on since. Anyone know if some other config change triggers this?

I have to reset mine once a week, and yes I like the zoom in function too.

Didnt know 2011 had zoom but now I am scared to use it! lol I always assumed the guidelines are software and nothing to do with the camera. So perhaps there is something wrong with the systems flash memory or something aftermarket causing issues.

For those having to reset lines constantly do you have any electrical aftermarket things installed? What has the dealer said for those that asked them?

Mine does it as well. No aftermarket items at all. It hasn't lost the lines in over a week now.

I don't have any aftermarket items either, except for a tonneau cover and spray-in bed liner. And if those are affecting my camera then something is really wrong.

I haven't talked to the dealership yet. I want to figure out what events trigger it before I bring it in, or they probably won't be able to replicate it and won't do anything.

Yeah, but these guy are talking about the "new and improved" unit that comes in the 2011's.
