|
|
Hi Guys,
I am now having problems nearly every time I use my GPS.
The issue is as follows:
Every time(well most times) I zoom in I lose the map data and track.
In order to fix I turn off and on and it seems to be OK again but again if I zoom it may or may not do the same.
I am concerned that if this happens when off Portland I may get a little lost hence interested if any one else has experience this issue?
Any help greatly appreciated.

If i remeber correctly Brett you need a spare Sd card
goto lowrance site download the software for your model
to the spare card insert it into your unit switch it on
and the unit will automatically detect it.
I'll see if i can find it for you

Thanks Frank,
New version uploaded from 1.4 now 2.5 . Seems to be working fine.
If this fixes it my wife will be happy as I was planning to replace with a HDS7.
