Up date GPS

Post by Wolly Bugger » Tue Apr 16, 2019 5:22 pm

Recently the Satellites GPS signal had been updated.

My Lowrance Elite needed a software update, which fortunately was easily achieved by downloading the update and sticking the SSD card into the unit and turning the unit on.

Best way to check it to go to the manufacturer's website. I have a lowrance but not all units were affected.

This is the third rollover since the launch of the first satellites. In the past some receivers had weird date issues. Most recent units , post year 2000 , do not have a problem.
There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.
