Re: lost waypoints

dan I have the same chartplotter/gps, and when I first splashed the boat in the water it took forever to acquire the satellites. but it was only that one time, and every time i turn it on now I pick up within seconds....

as far as losing the waypoints, I have no idea. I'm trying to remember but I do not think I lost any of my waypoints.

good luck man. hopefully it works out.

Re: lost waypoints

Does it have a little lithium battery inside for the memory? Could be dead.
