Hi all
I just got the finder for christmas and was using it in couch yesterday and the dam screen froze five times in 6 hours. It was like a computer that was thinking only there was no spinning wheel. just a paused screen. I was wondering if anybody else had this problem before or is it just my unit? Also if so is there any solutions short of sending it back? I have an adaptor for the ice ducer that came with the portable pack and was wondering if that was the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Redbeard

If you were inside it may have been trying to acquire satellites.
There is an emulator you can download from the Lowrance site to practice on your computer to get familiar with the unit I found it quite helpful.
You can find it here http://www.lowrance.com/en-US/Support/P ... Emulators/
