It will for 200 bucks. It has a fast satellite acquisition time, based on the info from the UBlox chip set data sheets. Of course, there are only 30-31 satellites in the gps constellation. Probably only see about 5-10 0f these visible in the sky at any given time. The UBlox chipset uses multiple same satellite inputs for more finite signal reception and integration.

I read the spec sheet on the UBlox gps chipset Humminbird is using. It sounds good.

This new receiver want do crap for the slow response. Slow response is the result of time mismanagement in the unit program. Only be fixed with program changes.

This turning off this function or that function to improve unit response is absolute bull.

I await the "fix" so I can use the trolling grid, which will not function properly without a good gps response.

I am waiting in line like the rest of the users for a fix........
