Hey everyone... I'm looking for some info or advice on my new unit as it seems to be defective out of the box ?? I just bought it and went to power it up on my dining table.. When I powered it up, it powers up ok, but then flashes off and comes back.. Then I noticed a orange line thru the screen and it clears.. This is all happening while it boots up.. Then it it says it's loading the maps and another screen comes up asking which language ? I try to press the English and nothing.. I try the little X to remove the screen and nothing.. I keep pressing at it and it finally works...There's more... It seems really really slow... The touch screen works and doesn't work.. I touch the menu buttons to set it up and still nothing works.. it's like it's taking it's time.. I'm confused and not sure what to do.. I've contacted Lowrance today but they're closed for a meeting.. I can't even see the scroll on the right side of the screen so I can access the entire menu ???Will they help with this ??? Could it be anything else I'm missing here... I have the Elite 5ti and it performs way better than my new 7ti.Any help, advice, tips... anything would be greatly appreciated here..Cheers,Bill
