I put a new lowrance 3500 C stand alone GPS on the boat this year and I am noticing a pattern that I'm wondering if the rest of you are seeing.
Most of the time when I turn the unit on it does not want to lock in, even if I wait a very long time. But then if I shut off the power and turn it back on it locks in to the position almost immediately. Same thing happens if I should lose the position, it won't lock back in most of the time unless I shut the power off and back on at which time it locks in within 2 seconds every time.
What is going on and are the rest of you experiencing this?
I already had to have the cable and antenea replaced after the first week because it kept saying "gps module not responding"
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
