This is our first handheld GPS. I read a lot of reviews and was confident that I was making a smart purchase. Simply, I was wrong! The battery door is not sealed well, the top rubber piece comes loose and does not seal well either. While Geocaching we can get anywhere from about 25 to 100 feet out and then we are on our own. When we initially turn on the unit it takes at least 3 to 5 minutes to find where we are. We have changed batteries a few times thinking that maybe we had older batteries in and that it might be causing some problems. Yesterday we put brand new batteries in and we had the same issues. Very disappointed, returning it today and getting a Garmin. Sorry Lowrance, we have great items from you on our boat, but your GPS falls short!
