This weekend had some odd thing happen with the system that has always worked well before. On the way home, after spending the weekend on a mooring:
1. When the unit was turned on, I couldn't figure out why I wasn't showing a GPS fix after a few minutes - I almost just ran home on a compass heading in from 30 miles offshore. Finally something flashed "simulation". I was able to figure out how to turn the "manual simulation" off and everything looked normal for a while. Not a big deal but odd...
2. Then, these little fish icons started showing up on my track. I've since read the manual and don't see any reference to fish icons on the track. There are options for sea surface temp, depth, etc. but I didn't see one for fish icons....and I'd like to turn that off.

3. Radar was wonky - It took a reboot of everything to get it back. It never said radar connection was lost or anything. I still need to tune the radar overlay to the charts (on my list of to do's).

Voltage was good. I didn't really know what else to check.
