    Maps arbitrarily load after unit on.....

    7612xsv seems to have a glitch in that once I turn it on and fish for some time, it reloads the lakevu ultra maps. More of an annoyance but it does it a few times during a four hour trip. Suddenly sonar screen disappears and it goes to a map load page that I have to acknowledge by touching a "button" to get back to sonar. Anyone else have this?

    might try swapping the cards in their slots in the unit and see if that does any good.

    Ive heard similar reports on THT.

    Are you running the latest software?

    Try grounding the 7612. There is a ground screw on the back. Ground it the same place your getting power from. That has help some but not others.

    Also, try cleaning the contacts on the sd card. Could have a poor connection that comes and goes making it re-start the card.
