H20C won't lock onto Position

[Boss Hogg]

My H20C was working just fine up to now. However, it will not lock on to position now. It will pick up several satellites but will not acquire a position. Did anybody have this same problem? I know they quit making this model. After going through 3 cords, I suppose it is time to trash can it.

That sounds like a common occurrence for the H2O. Time to buy something new.

Ours are doing the same thing, worked fine for years now having issues. Guessing outdated software is the problem but just my opinion...Time to rig the HDS up in the truck....

Boss,

they are known for that, some guy's have added an external antenna, I just went with a new one.

Thanks for the replys. The goofy thing is working fine NOW. How can you fix something when it is working. Time to get a new one. What is comparable to the H20C???? Thanks

Pretty common problem for the H20. Do a search for a soft and/or hard reset. Most units will work fine after a reset.

Boss Hogg,

I would start looking for a new unit and dont do what I did last winter on Lake of the Woods. Up until then my H2O had worked flawlessly. I then started having the same problems as most other H2O users of it not picking up satelites. Well, was in a wheelhouse and went to shore for dinner and a drink. Came out to a whiteout snowstorm. Figured just follow the resort road and track line on the H20 to find the wheelhouse like I had a million previous times. Half way to the house it stopped picking up the satelites. Was extremely lucky to end up finding my house. Very scary........

Throw it in the trash. the hard and soft resets will work a couple times but for the most part its done.

Mine did it too. I just got a Garmin Oregon 450 and a Lakemaster CD ($50 on the garmin site!).

Wow, what a difference. I don't have to wait 20 mins to lock into position anymore
