    1199 navigation question

    I have been having an issue with navigation. I select my go to point and the boundary lines display (guiding me to selected go-to point). As I am running down the lake, if I hit a good wave the guidance disappears.

    If I hit menu, I have the option to cancel navigation so it still thinks I am navigating to the point, but there are no boundary lines or path showing in the gps screen.

    Anyone have this happen or no how to correct it? Based on the fact that it goes away typically when I hit a wave, I assume its electrical. But my screen doesn't flicker, the unit doesn't go out etc. could a short in the power to my Ethernet switch cause this?

    I've never seen it happen but doubt it would be related to Ethernet switch. My guess would be GPS related. I believe the boundary is based on the Off Course Alarm setting and position of boat which is dependent on GPS. If using an external receiver, might check connection to make sure of good connection. Is this the only unit being used or would you have choice of selecting another GPS source.

    It's the units gps. HB service suggested a reset and also takin out the lakemaster card. Reset didn't help. Will try taking out the card next trip. I've got an external gps puck I haven't installed yet. Perhaps I'll try that as well. It's definitely strange. My runs can be 10 miles to a point and I like to hit go to and follow it. Hit a decent wave and it's gone. No screen flicker, just disappears. If I hit menu, it gives me the option to cancel nav so it still thinks it's tracking.

    Strange.

    Have you checked waypoints in HB PC and no special characters used? By using the external GPS, can help isolate whether it is the internal GPS. The strange part is the boundary disappearing but seems to still be navigating. I would think neither would work if GPS failed.

    Does zooming in or out have any effect after the boundaries have disappeared ...??

    Can you replicate the issue in calmer water by wiggling the cable collector ...??

    Can't replicate. Tried wiggling cables and thumping the unit a bit. Zooming has no effect.

    Nope. And the other info disappears as well - time to destination, distance, etc.

    Haven't gotten around to installing yet. May not happen this year. I may just wait till spring and buy a mega unit to replace the 1199 and move the 1199 to the bow.
