My lowrance 500c had been working fine. in fact, I sent for an update to download, but before receiving download, I intended a trip to the 'thousand islands in on the st. lawrence river. when I plugged in my gps, the red light just kept blinking on and off and my unit screen didn't light up at all. is there anything I can try besides trying to find a dealer to fix it, if not, where can I find a site to lead me to someone who can fix it. would rather take it there and not ship. thanks
when i try to start up my lowrance iway 500 c the blue lights on the buttons flicker on and off and the speaker on the cig power connector sounds like a car try to turn over. but it never starts back up. brand new dont know whats the deal thanks for any help.

Assuming you are interested in the latest Map update, try contacting Panapacific, Although I have not purchased this product, they say they have the iWAY500c and iWAY600c Navteq Map Update Q1-10 v1.7 listed as Part Number: PACCARQ110
Although listed on their website, the product is currently unavailable for purchase online. Contact their customer service department at 1-800-726-2636.
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER I DOWNLOADED THE LATEST UPDATE. I RELOADED IT AND NOW IT SEEMS TO WORK OK. GO TO THE LOWRANCE WEB SITE AND THEN TO DOWNLOADS. LOOK FOR THE UPDATE FOR YOUR GPS AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. GOODLUCK
Are you referring to the maps and points of interest database?
If so, the short answer is NO. By contacting the company that developed this product; I learned recently they have no plans to update the maps in the foreseeable future.
I received an email from LEI on 3/19/2010 concerning this issue and was informed that they have no plans to provide future updates for the Iway 500c. Bad news for both of us, I own one as well.
1. Turn unit off 2. Press and hold PAGES and PWR until you get the "warning, do not rely..." message and then release the buttons.
If it still won't acquire position, install the latest update from http://www.lowrance.com/en/Products/Aviation/AirMap-600C/Downloads/AirMap-600C-Software-Update/.
If it still won't acquire, and it has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky, and the batteries are good, there is a malfunction and it will require service or replacement.
Is there a hard reset button or series of button presses that you can use? check the manual for this as it may reset the system. hold down the map/music button while the system boots up, that should reset it and may work. if not we'll try somehting else.
