    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.

    If your batteries are ok then it might be something you did the last time you had it out ,,,, think what you did the last time it worked did you change the set up..did you drop it? is there something on the antena,(tape,dirt,oil,anything) If it didn't just quit you they sometimes do that I have found when I have a problem it's something I didn't realize I did

    My Garmin goes screwy sometimes, but not for three days. Replace the batteries is all I could think to check.

    I got ahold of a guy at Lowrance and he told me how to do a soft reset. And now it works like new.But if I have to do it again someday I will have to call him back and have him walk me through it again.
