Re: Raymarine E80 startup Problem.

Problem solved with a reset using power up with left softkey held down. Described on their website but not in the original manual. Lost my navigation data, probably my fault for not having a backup!

Re: Raymarine E80 startup Problem.

Have tried a reboot without data card, no effect! Good idea to try with everything disconnected, may allow me to reset from mfd, sailing right now, try later today.
Thanks , Pete
