[QUOTE]goose007us - 6/27/2013  9:24 AM

So I had the boat back out this past weekend and it definitely appears to be an issue of running both units together causing the issue.  If one is running without the other one, it runs fine.  Turn on the other one, and that one just turned on will have the issue.  When I reset to default on that specific unit, the other one that was turned on first has the issue.  Reset the other one to default and they run fine for a while but then one all of a sudden had the issue again.  It's weird because the sonar appears to run fine because I can still see depths etc on the side of the sonar - same thing with the chartplotter.  However, the readings up in the upper left hand of the screen do not show properly - Depth, temp and mph just blink 0.0 until I reset to default settings.  I am not changing anything from the default settings once the units are up and running.

I also am not seeing a significant difference when using the Navionics Pro chip vs. the stock Lowrance readings.  I made sure the option was selected to use data from the Navionics chip, too, but didn't appear to make a difference.  Not sure what is going on with these units but it's starting to frustrate me.[/QUOTE]
