I have an old lowrance globalmap1000 fixed mount unit. It hasnt been used in a while. When i tried to install it i get a message ' gps coupler not responding'. Is there an easy way to test the antenna is functioning? I have tried fiddling with the connections- they look ok. If is not working, are there any other economical options for getting the gps working again?<br />any advice greatefully received. <br />many thanks!

Re: Lowrance gps antenna problem

Welcome and JRJ advice is very good.<br />Power the unit down and pull the plugs and remove the fuse, then clean the contacts on the cables and the unit. Work the cable in and out 10 or more times. Put the fuse back in and try again. If still bad make sure the boat battery is fully charged and try again.<br /><br />Last take JRJ Advice.
