VerifiedHi, welcome to Justanswer. My name is Ted and I'd like to help with your question. I normally work 8-6 M-F
Eastern time but may be on at other times also. Occasionally I can be called away from my computer or
working with another customer, I will try and answer back as soon as I can.
The system may prompt you for a phone call,
this is an auto response and I did not initiate it. If you'd like a call, please request it,
otherwise I am happy to help you via our message system here. I'm sorry for the delay you've
experienced, I've just come online and saw your question in the queue.
First thing I would do is update the software in the unit. It may have a glitch that is keeping it from tracking. You can get the software here: https://downloads.lowrance.com/ free of charge.
