Eagle Fishelite 480 GPS
I'm sure most of you read my post a couple of weeks ago where my GPS unit quit working right. I kept getting an error message saying GPS unit not responding. This wasn't the first time but the second. I had already sent it back to Eagle for repair once before. I just got the unit back from Eagle yesterday for the second time. When I hooked the unit up to my boat a few minutes ago I find that the gps is bouncing all over the place. My boat is sitting still in my driveway and the GPS is bouncing over a 100' perimeter. What's so bad is this isn't even my original unit. Eagle sent my another unit that I'm guessing has been reconditioned. My question is is this a common problem with these units? I sure wished I could get my money back for this thing and invest that $400.00 in something different. I've always heard Eagle/Lowrance were alot better than Hummingbird and Garmin but now I'm not such a believer. I have replaced the antenna with a reconditioned one from Eagle and I have also switched from my trolling batteries to my starting batteries. Same problem. Hate to vent on you all but I'm just having to get this off my chest.
To heck with work, lets go fishing.
