A67 issues - GPS fix and issuing "goto" command

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Technical Forum Keith,

Should the a67 MFD be installed in a location affording it to have an unobstructed view of the skies overhead and the MFD's internal GPS sensor take as long as you have specified to acquire a GPS position FIX, then it would appear that their is a problem with the MFD's internal GPS sensor necessitating that it be serviced by Raymarine Product Repair Center. Should the a67 MFD not be installed in a location affording it an unobstructed view of the skies overhead, then it may be necessary to interface the MFD to an external GPS sensor such as the Raystar 130 GPS Sensor.

The a67 MFD's internal GPS sensor may be tested by temporarily moving the MFD for testing purposes to a location affording it an unobstructed view of the skies overhead. Should the MFD rapidly (within 3 minutes) acquire a GPS FIX, then the MFD's internal GPS sensor would be deemed to be functioning correctly.

When selecting to GoTo a Waypoint from the Chart application's Waypoint List (MENU->MY DATA->WAYPOINTS), it is necessary to have first command Stop GoTo if previous navigation has been commanded (GoTo Waypoint/Cursor Position or Follow Route). It is not permitted to command navigation from the Home screen's My Data options.
