Lowrance GPS issues


mattyc

Question

Just got a Lowrance X-15 this spring. GPS has worked fine until today. Was out on Minnetonka and it had acquired position, then when I got to my first spot it lost position. I spent the next three hours without getting a position lock.

The antenna is mounted in a perfectly fine location. Been fishing a dozen times this year and it hasn't done this. It's plugged in and connected just fine because when I do unplug it, then it says "lost communication with GPS module".

The really goofy thing is that I just left the thing on during my drive home and about 15 miles into my 30 mile drive, it aquired position and tracked the trip all the way home.

Anyone seen anything like this?!?!?!

if it says it isn't responding, always turn the unit off reconnect cables etc and then turn back on. Seems like this ensures best results and best chance of responding again.

The "lost communication" messge could indicate that you lost power to the gps module (I think the x-15 has a powered module). I'd check your power connections and your ground, especially since it had been working fine and now seems intermittant. Good luck.
