So...... Any ideas?

The GPS module (I'm assuming it's an external one?) works on an NMEA2000 network. The network has to be terminated correctly, and (I think) needs to be powered (the module may have been an exception for the power requirement; don't remember now.)

Your best bet would be to re-read the installation instructions, and make sure you've got everything set up as suggested. It's too variable to throw out suggestions and hope to get it.

Once you're sure it *should* work, call your Lowrance/Navico/Eagle tech support.

If it has been working previously then chances are the antenna is fried. The early ones do suffer from failures.

I have 2 plotters and 2 white gps arial things and they both say the same so it must be the set up?

The unit provides power to the arial and I have tested that the voltage is getting there ok.

I'll take another look tonight.....
