HDS GPS freeze problem
Submitted by tiimmbo on Fri, 2011-07-15 15:29
I have encountered a problem with my HDS 5 combo unit. Whilst out the other day the GPS system essentially froze up on me and wouldn't track. Turning the unit off and on again reset it and it worked again for about 30 seconds then froze again (did this a few times with same result - now it doesnt even seem to reset and work again as still has my position out enar garden island somewhere). I have done a 'soft' reset that hasn't fixed the problem. A hard reset will wipe all my marks so if I can avoid that I would like to. I will obviously be backing them all up paper based and on my navionics app on my iphone as well.
Has anyone had similar probs or know what might fix the issue?? Any help appreciated.

Timmbo, I don't know whether it may or may not help, but have you installed the new 4.0 update yet? In my opinion the unit shouldn't be doing it regardless of what software it's using.
Failing that, maybe give Navico a call I found them very helpful.
