Bought a new chip from fishermans and put it in my lcx series lowrance. After installation you can see the data is installed but my waas system won't work. My position is no longer followed as I drive the boat. Any suggestions?

Look online and they will walk you through it.
There is a soft reboot and a hard reboot.
Try the soft reboot first, it will save waypoints etc.
1. Turn the unit off
2. Hold the "power button" and the "pages button" at the same time until the map comes up. Some of the units have another page appear. It should be "soft booted" now.
I would try doing the updates and if that doesn't work, possibly a hard reset. If both of those options don't work take it back and get a replacement chip, because it's probably bad.
Go back into the menu GPS Setup and find the WAAS line. One of them I think says WAAS Required you don't want that one. uncheck it. whenever I check it, WAAS would not work properly Page 171 0f your Manual

Ok, I thought that was the Lowrance chip. I had bad luck when I first bought one. It could be a bad chip it??

Thanks for the replies guys. I talked to fishermans today and they also suggested updating off the lowrance website both the gps and the unit. If that doesn't work they suggested the soft boot then the hard re-boot.
