Lowrance Elite5

Question

I recently bought a lowrance Elite 5 sonar/gps. When trolling or drifting under 1 mph the gps does not track properly. After 5 to 10 minutes my position appears to be as much as 500 to 600 feet off. I can be completely across a piece of structure and the chart will still show me as hardly moved at all. Does anybody have an explanation for this?

I used to run Lowrance LCX27s and had the same problem and it drove me nuts. That is why I said "used to run Lowrance"

I have a feeling to keep the cost down on the Elite5 they used the old technology.

I am not sure if the new HDS units can keep you on track when moving at walleye speed.
