Software version x.3.17 was released in August to address MARPA problems on the 3G and 4G, but only applies to units manufactured after October 2014. Not mine unfortunately, but its worth checking.

Not mine also

Another thing I dislike about Navico gear is rather poor, it seems to me, support of even slightly superseded models. The first generation Touch is barely 4 years old, and already an orphan

Furuno next time, methinks.
