I have just got back in, it was very lumpy at sea today.
Anyone having problem with the gps signal this year? i wnet out and the boat kept jumping around on the gps screen, at one point i shat myself as i looked at the gps and i was right on top of the abby car park??? cant work that one out 5 sat's and all seemed ok but it could not hold position for more than 10 seconds jumping around 1/4 mile at a time???

richy i could be totally wrong with this but there's a slim chance it could help you with updating your gps.

Kept loosing the signal on my plotter 4 weeks ago. At the time i put it down to the new windscreen blocking the signal, so hightend the gps a few inches and everythings ok now.

Rich, what GPS model is it , main thing does it have an SD card slot for maps and save. If so get a cheap SD card and save everything.....
worry later about how to read what you've saved, I can help you out there. At least you wont loose everything and have to type it all back in (if you have it written down that is)
cheers
