Thanks for the replys. The owners manuel doesn't describe the type of antenna, whether it is a patch or helix-something type. That's why I don't know which orientation is best suited for this GPSr. I am hoping some experts on the lowrance equipment will come forth with the info.
The model was described... IFinder. Not H2O, not Hunt, not Atlantis etc. Just IFinder... I believe it was intoduced after the GO and GO2 models.
Cheers.
