  1. Thanks for the response- Yes, there is a bar on the left side of the screen and it is scanning thru some numbers- 18,9,43,16 ect. I have had it show quite a few bars on the bottom of the screen but only 1 or 2 of them have had any gray area in them. And it hasn't given me a fix at all. Please excuse the terminology as I'm still learning about this new technology and haven't caught on yet. I'll take it to work today and try putting it on the hood and see what happens. I bought the unit from Page Computers and they seem to have a pretty good return policy but I just don't want to go thru the hassle. Especially if I'm the dummy and not the unit!! Thanks again for the reply
  2. Hi Total newbie here. I just got my first GPS -Lowrance H2O+Plus. I was all excited about firing it up but I restrained myself and actually READ the instructions. After totally confusing myself I went outside and turned it on. Went to the Satellite page and waited, and waited, and waited. Nuthin wouldn't even locate a satellite much less lock on and give me a fix. So I figure OK it must be the couple of trees in the yard so I went to the local Mall and went to the middle of the parking lot turned it on and --Same Thing. This time it was at least scanning about 3 satellites but it never gave me a fix. Stood out there in the wind for about 10 minutes and gave up. Am I doing something wrong or did I get a bum unit. I read on the forum how GREAT the antenna is on the Lowrance, but you can't prove it by me. Thanks for any help!
