| I bought a used head unit for an HDS7 off a guy, not on this site. It's Gen 1. I got everything situated last night and when I put a map chip in it takes forever to load the map, then takes forever to load new data if I zoom in/out or move the cursor around.
I tried 4 separate map chips, all LakeMaster (MN and LOTW/Rainy), all that work fine in every other graph in my boat (HDS10 Gen2, HDS5 Gen 1, LCX25c).
The LCX25c is flush mounted right below where I put the HDS7 and I ran a comparison test after noticing how slowly this graph loads/adjusts. The HDS7 takes between 5 and 11 seconds to load new data depending on what I was doing. The same action on the LCX25c resulted in near instantaneous loading of the same data. Similar actions on the other units resulted in near instantaneous loading as well.
Anyone have any thoughts on why the HDS7 Gen 1 is so slow? Fixes?
I'm not outside the window where I could use PayPal Buyer Protection as this thing is clearly not functioning as it should be...but if it's as simple as a hard reset or whatever I'm not looking move on immediately. |
