    Periodic issue with Helix 12 and 15 GPS

    Every so often the detail on Lake Master mapping will get big blurry and pixelated on my Helix 12 and 15. It goes away if you zoom in or out. Any ideas? My battery is an Ionic 125 ah. I'm pretty sure the voltage is good.

    More than likely you are losing GPS fix. Make sure nothing is blocking your units access to a clear view of the sky. Bob

    I had that happen on my 15 and 12 and 9 but it seems to have gone away with the 2.75 update.

    What I found interesting was that when it first happened on the 12 and the 9, my old 1198 at the console showed the same maps just fine.
