Can you help me correct this? My position on the water does not match my position on my Lowrance X-15. As I boat down a shoreline, I can watch the screen and see my bread crumb trail go right down the land. A second problem is that the WASS is frequently lost and them comes back. I don't think that causes the trail to be in wrong place, because when the WASS is on the trail is still over the land on the GPS map. The GPS receiver is about 1 foot in front of the console and the windsheild is low and shouldn't be blocking the receiver. What can I do about these 2 problems; especially the problem of being in the wrong location on the map. I worry about hitting reefs when my location is incorrect. I called Lowrance, but they had no suggestions. I wasn't surprised that Lowrance was no help. When I bought the GPS it came with built-in software that was obsolete. It couldn't work with the wrong software. When I called Lowrance, the lady told me that Lowrance was not responsible for the problem because "Lowrance is only the distributer". I returned that GPS.
