| That's more than likely your problem. Sometimes (and I stress sometimes) you can get the GPS puck to pick up the satellites in your garage, but you'll usually need to be outside. |

| I guess my question is how do make the HDS unit use the puck only. |

I was gonna say that, but don't know for sure, so I held my tongue, but I thought that too. Or it may just be that you need the 4000 for the HDS' "optimum" performance; the faster refresh rate and lower distance error. I know the 4000 is faster and more accurate than the internal antenna. |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | You need to get the boat outside. And yes, you can use the LGC-3000 with the HDS units. |
