Lowrance iFinder H2O GPS Receiver - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I have a Lowrance h20 colored for five years now,
Lately am having problem with acquiring my position when I first turned on

My H2O I'm having problems pulling up the lake I am on.

OK 2006 isw3 years ago The battery life is about up! Replace the battery and recharge it to full capacity and your probelms are over

MapCreate Topo does not have lake maps. There are 'some' maps on Lowrance's web site (Free Enhanced Lake Maps) but you may need to purchase lake maps on SD cards for the area you're interested in.

Hi,

Buy a Garmin, they are the best

what Make and model is it ?
to find the manual

Thanks
Richard

First use "add gps" and add the original unit and the H20use "receive from gps" to call in the original waypoint file from your sd carduse "send to gps" to save the new waypoint file to the sd cardremember that the original gps file may contain more waypoints than the H20 can hold so you may have to delete some waypoints from the file while in EasyGPSif this is not clear enough, let me know and I will try again. I use the program all the time. I just realized I left something out. EASYgps does not like the Lowrance HDS File version so an extra step is required if you are transferring files from an HDS to an IFinder. Save your HDS waypoints as Version 3 to the SD card and EASYgps will accept them

Greetings, Please consider returning the device to the manufacturer and purchasing a Garmin GPS from amazon, BestBuy, or Walmart. Garmin has been around for at least 1 decade and I believe has a more solid brand name than Lowrance. Thank you.

Hi, Please test the backup sd card on another GPS if possible to see if the zoomed-in section of the map file shows up or not. If it shows, then you'd need to send in your lowrance gps for repair from the water damage. Thank you.

Sounds like the memory card you can not recognize is faulty or corrupted.
