Got this toy this week, but it won't lock in on the GPS coordinates. Left it on all night because Lowrance said with the satellites in a different hemisphere from where it was programmed, it could take up to 3 hrs to lock in the first time. Didn't happen. Anybody got a fix? I know some Smart Arse is gonna say get a HB, but that ain't gonna happen. Lol

Yes GPS tries to find signal then after about 30 secs to a minute the GPS alarm goes off stating no GPS fix

Call Lowrance technical support back. Tell them their fix didn't work. They're the experts.
They ain't open yet, but if y'all hear me screaming across the lake today, you'll know why.
I'm just gonna follow you anyway. Lol

SOMETIMES with a GPS, the satellites are to low in the hemisphere or there are to many in one direction to lock on with a really good system. I have a $50,000 GPS I survey with and there are times it won't get a lock, even with 9 satellites.
I would assume that with it being a good GPS system that it updates the ephemeris every time it is turned on.
The ephemeris is a set of parameters that the GPS uses to accurately determine your position and is updated about every 4 hours or so as more data is collected by the satallites
