change to E80 from C120

Don,

Q2. I have run the Verify Card diagnostics several times with the results:
BP2 checked 2130 errors 0
NV2 checked 10,000,000 plus (Mised end of test) errors 59
Reports 59 errors each time I run it (takes a long time)
I am wondering if this is indicative of some sort of internal problem in the E80?

I will do a power on factory reset (again). I understand that this reset is more complete than the one from the E80 menu.
A1. If the MFD's memory card reader it intermittent or not operational, or there are problems with the chart card, then symptoms such as you have reported may occur. Essentially, by providing the MFD with a GPS position FIX, the MFD will then attempt to access chart data at the vessel's location. Should one of the aforementioned conditions prevent such access, then the reported symptoms may occur. You may verify whether one of these conditions exist by removing the chart card from the MFD's memory card reader and then testing the MFD's performance with the suspect GPS sensor.

Q2: I am also wondering if a software reinstall might help?
A2. It is very unlikely that updating the MFD's software again would have any benefit in correcting the reported symptom should the MFD already have v5.69 software installed within its memory.
