When turned on it would typically pick up satellites within a minute regardless of the weather. This year has been totally different. If it is totally sunny out it takes a very long time, usually never to pick up the satellites. If it is partly sunny I can usually pick them up after several minutes. If it is completely cloudy out I pick them up as soon as I turn it on.
Tell me that ain't weird. Can anyone help with an answer.

If you would like to test it, I have the same unit in my boat and we could swap and see if the problem follows the plotter or stays with the antenna. If you need a firmware update, Standard Horizon will lend you a flash memory module that you put in the plotter so you can update it yourself.
