« on: October 10, 2010, 08:22:10 PM »
  Is there anyone locally that fixes or checks out gps.  My lowrance just stopped working saturday. It kept reading (modular not responding) I don"t know if it's the unit or the arial?

Get a Garmin or Raymarine and dump the Lowrance  ;D

But seriously...Maybe someone may know, Joe?

Are we talking GPS or Fishfinder or combo. I know you can do what Lowrance calls a "Hard Reset" on the lowrance GPS. BUT you need to save all your waypoints to a SD card, because all info will be lost and the unit be set back to factory standards. http://www.lowrance.com/Support/

The antenna is most likely shot. some of there replacements are not even available. Give me a model number and I can check. Some times the cost of there antennas surpass the cost of the unit. They want you to upgrade. Believe me, its there philosophy. Also one of the worst companys to deal with.

Hiking, just curious, what did you end up doing? Reseting, repairing, or replacing the unit? <'((((><
