I have a Lawrance 334c and a Fish eagle elite . Everytime I try to put it on to WAAS satellite it goes in and out is it just best not to check the box for WAAS or is there something I am doing wrong. I was told the WAAS is more accurate...............

CHeck the WAAS optional setting. You do not want WAAS only setting as WAAS is a harder signal to read. WAAS is designed for aircraft use more so than ground or water use, yes it is more accurate but the satalites that run WAAS circle the Earth around the equator, not all over like normal GPS satalites so the farther you are from the equator the less chance of getting a WAAS signal and we are pretty far from the equator!
