I have no old settings to overwrite, since its the first time the boat gets registered on any of my devices.
Both my Samsung galaxy tab s6, my IPhone 12 Pro and my IPad Pro shows the same, and that is no boat.

But then again, its not the app or any setting on my devices, its the ability to find and lock on to satellites, from either the boat or the handset, so I was hopeful you would return with the answer... yep a new handset fixed all my problems, but since that's not the case, I better send the boat and handset to Germany, and I better do it fast... carp season is just around the corner.

Both inside and out on a swim... no change in the behaviour of boat or handset.

ND tackle UK has returned with the possibility the boat has a faulty GPS board.
The service from ND tackle UK or DE is great...

Okay,

Forget about the app for a moment, leave the app turned off. Let's start from the very beginning. Register the handset to the boat, do this outside where the boat can get a clear GPS signal. You do know how to do this don't you? Long press the controller stick inwards.

Been out in the open for 10 minutes now, I have a clear sky, stars above me, no obstacles between the boat and GPS satellites... GPS is flashing dark blue.

Am I, as you did, expecting something to happen... like a solid blue light in GPS on the handset.

Yeah, the handset should go solid blue pretty quickly.

I'd go with a knackred GPS board. I'd send it back pronto and get a replacement sent back to you.

Sorry to hear this Martin, thought I'd be able to get it up and running.

I'm so confused right now...

The manual provided with the bait boat, is telling me, when the GPS light is flashing, the handset and boat is not registered. And registered I think is to satellites, because I can operate the boat with the handset, so on that area, they are registered.

And I'm expecting to see my boat as a dot or another indicator on the app.
I was expecting the ability to make spots A, B, C and D without the autopilot, but save them, so I could return to them, when I'm operating the boat manually.

I thought my English was above average here in Denmark, but I somehow missing some important information, and need to be lead back on track.

I think its so cool of you to try, and I was hoping, that I was missing something, and puuf the GPS light was solid, and the boat showed up on the app.

Yes there is no easy way around it, the boat must return to Germany pronto.

Thank you for your time and effort, its appreciated.
And I'm pretty sure, when it returns from Germany, Ill get happy having it around.

You will be able to control the boat with the handset regardless of GPS. To be able to use the GPS function, the boat needs be registered with the handset, like a handshake of sorts.

If you registered the boat by long pressing in the button on the controller stick and that all went fine and still the blue light for the GPS is still flashing, obviously there's a GPS problem. From what I could make out, you seemed to suggest you had a new hand controller but still there's a GPS problem.

Did you go through the motions of making sure the handset was registered with the boat?

I don't mind helping out at all, I know how frustrating this can be, especially so having to send messages backwards and forwards.

No, i have no new handset... Got the boat Friday, out for the first time Saturday, Sunday is just being frustrated :-)

Why I mentioned a new handset, is your reply in post #4

Thank you Rich, you're a star ⭐
I have spoken to ND and they think it's a dodgy r note that they're going to replace 👍


I thought a “dodgy r note” was a misspelled remote?
That's why I approached you, hoping it was the case, and I could guide ND to send me a replacement.

Hi, did you ever get this sorted? I have the exact same issue with the light flashing blue.

Thanks

Same thing happened to me, I had been using it for 6 months without any problems. I contacted ND with my boat ID number from the APP and they reset my GPS and all works as it should now.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
