Should it show up on the simulator or regular screen with no gps signal......boats in pole barn......i can't find anything showing connected to the 788 hd di and the book with it doesn't really say anything other than check it on the water......stymie,greg

After I hooked mine up it did not show in simulation mode. Not sure about the second question. I had good signal when I hooled it up.

When I installed the latest update and booted up the unit, it briefly showed a GPS connection error message, but that quickly disappeared. This was while it was in the garage. I haven't had that message come up since then. The puck shows up in the screen that shows all the different devices and whether they are connected or not.

The only issue that I'm seeing with it is a discrepancy between it and the ipilot speed while slow trolling. It happened again this weekend and the console unit's speed matched the ipilot. Not sure if the proximity of the puck with the terrova's steering drive is contributing or not.

..........when i pull up gps diagnostic menu shows internal gps antenna

kyrich... Is your unit an internal antenna model...??

If it is....

*Make sure your unit is set to "Advanced Mode" under the "Setup" tab...

*Then, go under the "Nav" tab and scroll down to "GPS Override"...

*Make sure "GPS Override" is set to "External"....
