Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone has had issues with their GPS cutting in and out after they have downloaded software update 6.740 to a 898 international version (or US)? I constantly get a pop up alarm saying "No GPS Position Fix". It comes an goes even when just sitting still.
The ONLY reason why I updated the software was to get the finder to talk to the I Pilot Link. It originally had software version 6.490. So the only thing that I have done is install the I Pilot Link on my boat and update the software of the finder. I have tried wiggling cables to see if any movement can trigger the GPS to drop out but it doesn't seem to be a cable issue.
When powering up the unit I went into the systems status page and looked at the GPS signals, there were many satelites shown but intermittently they would all drop out together, along with the time, lat and long coordinates.
The update I got was from myhumminbird account on the humminbird.com website. Is there specific software updates for international and US finders ie. could have I updated my international finder with a US based update?
Any help and advice would be very much appreciated.
