    Billbob my 798 would do the same thing. Found one of the connections on my battery loose (wing nut not tight) . Tightened it down and works fine now. Mine would lock up and only way to git it back on was unplug and replug it. Then it would work fine unless I cranked the motor again with it on.
    Be as smart as you can, but it is always better to be wise than to be smart.

    billbob knows my 997 does the same thing as his 997 and my lcx 27 (connected to same point) doesn't shut down. I believe the HB is more impulse noise susceptible than the LOW.

    My connections are excellent.

    Did you guys ever decide which one you like better? I've been looking for the comparison, just wanted to make sure I didn't miss it.

    My 997 broke down. Will try again in about 3 weeks.

    CP, I wonder if that is a drive space issue, maybe that's why it started working again after you removed the waypoints. You do have the preloaded maps on yours, right? I'm guessing those maps take up most of the hard drive on it and then adding the update may have maxed it out, just taking a W.A.G.
