I was on a lake yesterday and caught some fish, so i pull out the ol H2O and mark the spot.

I told a guy my coordinats to the spot and he plugged them into his H2O and the spot that popped up was no where near the spot i marked?

So i entered the same coordinats in to google maps and again came up in the same spot the other guys H2O did?!?!?!?!

What the he double hockey sticks is wrong with MY H2O? Because obviously if his says one spot and google says the same spot and mine is different it must be mine that is wrong!right?

One of you might be using a different datum and/or coordinate system. Check the units to see that both of you are using the same settings. The default settings are WGS 84 for the datum and the coordinate system is decimal degrees. Look to see if both units have the same settings and look to see what Google Earth is set at - I think it is WGS 84 and I know it is decimal degrees for the default.

You have to wait till position acquired shows up. After that you can mark your spot. If you do it before the position acquired screen shows up your marks can be tainted by the last position your GPS was at before it was last shut off. I go to the satellite screen and wait for the eps to show less then 40 ft then mark my position. This will increase your accuracy

What you're explaining is one of the things that drove me NUTZ about the H2O, this would happen to a friend of mine quite often.

Not sure I can explain this right but it seemed when he would get back to his Map, it would show you your location but those, what I call "crosshairs", were way off in tim-buck-too and when you pressed MARK on your buttons, it marked the spot where those crosshairs were, not your location of the gps. It seemed to me it was way to easy to get this messed up, to fix this, when you got to the Map page, first thing you did was hit the END button and those crosshairs went away.

I'm sure the map was in Pan mode but WHY when you page thru, back to the Map page would it automatically default to the Pan mode?

Just a thought, it's something that rung a bell with me when I read your post.

hey thanks everyone, my position was locked in when I marked the spot, the waypoint actually showed up right on the spot we were on the lake on my lake map.

I was at home and went into my waypoint list and it says what the coordinats are for each way point, I typed them just as they were written and it showed up as a different spot over 600yards away from where it was suppose to be!

Anyone else have that problem before?

Why don't you send me those coords., I'll plug em in my H2O and see where they end up!! laugh J/K Hope you figure out what's going on with it! May want to look into a soft reset. By doing this you reset the unit without deleting the waypoints, just remember where your spot is so you can remark it later if it moves somehow.

One more thing to check is make sure neither one of you has the map offset activated. If your buddy navigates to the coords. Does he end up at your spot? But its just is diff on his map? Or vice versa?

My map on my gps is accurate as to where I am as to where it says I am, the problem is that the coordinats it says I am at is atcually always off the same ammount about 600 yards north east of where my map says I am!

So my location is right, my map is right the coordinats it gives me to where I am at is what is wrong!!!

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
