    Default Cannot find a satellite


    I have a Ifinder pro that I have had for 3 year or so and have been happy with it. But this last week end when I turned it on and it started looking for satellites it looks for awhile then it comes up poor satellite signal. I have tried 4 time over 3 days any help or ideals is very welcome.

    Try removing the batterys and and replacing them.
    It just may have to reset.
    Happy New year.

    Go to the Lowrance web site and check to see if you are running the most current software. I have the Ifinder and it helped dramatically with satellite acquisition and EPE (estimated position error).

    The guy at Lowrance called it a soft reset

    Funny, I went to the Lowrance web site and checked on the latest firmware upgrade for my iFinder H20c and it is older than what came on the unit about four months ago.

    True Jeff but there is no telling how long that unit sat in inventory at both Lowrance and whatever retailer you bought it from.
