Baller makeall6 Posted May 23, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 23, 2021 Just curious. I was having trouble last season, the GPS would never lock. So I tried Classic mode. Things just seemed a little bit easier. We are not tournament skiers anymore. Never enough time to travel and I am getting up there in years. My sons can still rip it though. 38 off. So what is the basic difference between the two? I still get the all buoy timing since I mapped the course and times are good. Even though I like to have the latest and greatest, do I really need to use GPS mode? 2004 Ski Nautique. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller sgregg Posted May 23, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 23, 2021 If you would like to try and fix the GPS issues, Perfect Pass will reflash your puck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GaryJanzig Posted May 25, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 25, 2021 Last winter I got the Zbox, upgraded to 3 event 9.2, and sent my GPS antenna back to Perfect Pass and they updated the firmware. It made a world of difference. Better pull, and the GPS locks in quicker. It even locked in while the boat was in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skiboyny Posted May 26, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 26, 2021 I was having trouble with GPS locking in at the beginning of last season. I was going to send the puck in to have it flashed, but never did. It sort of fixed itself haven't had a problem since. Try it again. It had something to do with the satellites.

Baller keithh2oskier Posted May 26, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 26, 2021 I have noticed that it takes my puck a fair amount of time time to catch the signal when I first turn on the boat. Sometimes a few minutes. Once it's locked in, I seem good for the rest of the day. Could it be that you didn't have a GPS signal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted May 26, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted May 26, 2021 +1 @Gloersen said. I’ll probably upgrade. Have been running classic since classic was classic. Never really affected my tournament scores. I run the classic at 35mph now to up the challenge a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller keithh2oskier Posted May 26, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 26, 2021 @GaryJanzig How much did the puck refresh cost and what was the turn around time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Jmoski Posted May 26, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 26, 2021 How old is the Stargazer puck? I started to have that issue and needed to replace the puck. There was also a server side change made that caused a 30 sec delay for it lock - this issue can be fixed by sending the puck back to be flashed with newer firmware. Sounds your puck is bad if it never locks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GaryJanzig Posted May 27, 2021 Baller Share Posted May 27, 2021 @keithh2oskier I don't think there was a charge, but the postage to get it over the border(Canada) was about $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
