For whatever reason about 9 months ago it stopped regularly updating my gps location. It'll occasionally update every 10-15 minutes, which is of course useless. I saw there were some software updates Lowrance was offering as it looks like this issue may not be unique. I've installed the updates with no success, the problem persists. Anyone encounter this before? Any insights to offer? "Bragging may not bring happiness, but no man having caught a large fish goes home through an alley." -A.L. www.LunkerLore.com

IF you did the update for the gps issue and that was not the problem then you may have introduced a problem that you can only fix by installing the reg software update with out the gps fix.
