To prevent my pc from being hacked from any virus or over protected sofware like... here is a little hint, make your self a backup image of your windows partition with norton ghost or image,then you can get back to your original regitery within minutes if some thing go's roung or any limit counter install to it!! and this is perfectly legal.

Give your self a gift , load and try the lowrance h2o simulator before making your choice and compare the feature you will get with it! for about $250.00 you will get the gps and the mapcreate 6.3 software... Have fun! www.lowrance.com

Dont wait for a tone because the ifinder go do not have this feature. You may try to check with a nother gps from a freind to see if it is not cause by your geo location or microwave path near you, make shure that the require WAAS option is off and dont move your gps when trying to get a fix the first time, this should help it!

let's make another try! by holding down Zout and Zin simultaniusly and power up the unit to initialize it.

Set the unit in advanced mode and put the (require WAAS)option to off or your may have this kind of problem when trying to get a fix.

none of the lowrance software work's with the ifinder go2,so dont wast you time with it! only gps utility work's like i said before.

select advance mode and go to the map screen,then press menu once and select Map orientation and select Track up. This should do it!

Try some thing like this but get the right pinout from my previous post and dont consider soldering to your ifinder go2 or you will probably end up melting the case around these contact! here a link for credit card type connector: http://www.jens-seiler.de/etrex/datacable.html and the program i use to transfer waypoint: http://www.gpsu.co.uk/

Hi There! Yes the ifinder go2 is capable to receive waypoints from nmea sentance, you can create a route via map source,then save it in gpx format and then open gpsutility(freeware) and upload it to the ifinder go2 all the waypoints will appear to the unit but you will still have to remake the trail between the uploaded waypoints,allsow you will have to take out the (*) that appears before eatch waypoint before loading it to the gps. You can build a cable for it with cheap parts here is the pinout, http://www.gpsnuts.com/Lowrance/iFinder_comm.jpg more detail http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~gronslet/blog/200...as-gps-pinouts/ This little unit is capable to drive any palm or pc laptop with nmea routing program to. finaly it is performing quite good for a budget gps but dont count on lowrance to get the information on this, they simply say that they dont carry any software for it. ???
