Post by Ric »

Hey guys it’s been a long time
I’ve been having problems with my Northstar

Does anybody have a name or business that can
Recalibrate this GPS unit
Yes it’s old 17 years old
But I would like to get it tuned up
If anybody knows of a place that could
Recalibrate ,, the sattelite signal or works on

Yeah I’m preety sure it doesn’t go through the prompts
Just goes right to providing the serial number
then it re- boots
And goes back to normal but I lost all saved waypoints
When I shut it off
And start it ,,, goes right to serial number prompts
Nobody knows anybody snywhere that services these machines
What a drag

Unfortunately the days of repairing these machines are long gone. I tried last year with a Garmin. I was told not worth it and no parts are available as well as repairing electronics is a lost art.

Good luck in you search but be ready to replace it.
