Get no update fo4 local on Lowrance map or Navionics SIM card.  It still shows my home (house) local on map while I'm at Donner Lake.

What should I try? Reboot?

Thanks in advance

Are you getting GPS signal?  The triangle con have a '?' in the middle of it?

If you are on the map, are you seeing a set of cross hairs?  If so, it sounds like you are scrolling around the map & need to press the button in the upper right menu that says 'clear cursor's.

Sounds like he is just moving the cursor around or not out in the open for satellite signal.  Youd be astonished at the number of calls I've received where the user can't get the GPS to lock on only to find out they are inside their garage, living room, warehouse at work, etc with their kayak or boat.   :smt044

Till I hear back, can't help him.

Now fly away bird, fly away :smt003

There is also a menu command "return to vessel."  If you are scrolled away, it won't show the location of the GPS unless you scroll back or press return to vessel.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.  ~John Buchan

Yup.  That is a culprit in a lot of "my GPS isn't working" calls I get.
