How to fix your older Raymarine MFD showing 'NOFIX' for GPS status

A quick look online shows replacement antennas that purport to give improved accuracy. Installation should be easier than soldering in a new battery which may or may not be 100% successful. A mistake could mean buying new anyway...$200-$350?

I agree, and they are more accurate.

But a new battery is $10. Vs cost of a new unit.

If you damage it installing the battery, you'll need to buy a new one anyway.

Mine is still working well on the lake after replacing the battery.
