Navman Tracker 5500

The NAVMAN trackers are no longer available as the company stopped making marine products. You can however find current products at www.lowrance.com.
The closest you can find is a Lowrance Elite 5mHD

Contact the maker or Google for this item by model number.

Just got the same one and same problem, I also have a 5505i and is only zooms in close when i put in the c-map chip and it zooms close in the chip area only?? now i have a chip for the 5500i and it zoomed in but only on the Texas part of the map, that is the chip it came with, but i live in Canada. Be carefull the c-map max chip for the 5505i is not compatible with the 5500i it needs c-map nt+ chip. 5500 chip is black 5505 is orange

Most common reasons for this is that your battery level is low. Make sure it is fully charged before use.


Please rate my help++++Thanks for using FIXYA

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.U WILL FIND THE ANTENNA IS BUGGERED.THERE ARE NO SPARE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THIS MODEL.LESSON; DON'T BUY NAVMAN OR NORTHSTAR.I HAVE ONE OF EACH. NEVER AGAIN!!!

NAVMAN F10 WILL NOT ACQURE GPS SIGNAL EVEN AFTER RESETTING

Its water ingress causing a short in the high voltage wiring PCB.

Open the unit with a 1.5mm allen key, unscrew the power/data cable sockets with a spanner and GPS antenna inlet with an 8mm socket (NA to i models) .

Where water has arced there will be burning black on the green PCB evident, cut the PCB wire and remove the section around the burn.
solder a new wire to bypass the short.
Dry the unit and seal with silicone to prevent re occurrence.

Its a 2 hour repair requiring a high DIY soldering standard but off set it against the time it will take to reload you waypoints in a new plotter , its well worth the trouble.

DAKA

Yes the screen is replaceable, there are four screws holding it to the PCB and a short ribon and a two wire power lead.

Navman 5500 does not support C-MAP MAX maps.. only C-MAP NT+ maps.

Have the same problem??

Used to take less than a minute to acquire satellites now takes 10-20minutes.
