Does anyone else have one of these? It has internal GPS antenna - I guess. Not a day on the lake has gone by since I bought it that it doesn't lose the satellite connection. Clear days, cloudy days... makes no difference. I've set at the dock for an hour and it doesn't link up and "may" link up after I've run a mile or so. I've got a 10 year old Garmin 168i with internal that has nev'a displayed this problem and still doesn't. When the 552c fails the Garmin keeps on tickin' but the Garmin is gawd'awful slow by todays standards - 2-3 seconds to shift pages. BUT - it always maintains GPS navigation. But... it's on the bow n' makes drivin' and navigatin' kinna difficult.

Faulty unit or is this the "Lowrance way"?
