From: Wishing it was somewhere sunny!
I have a Lowrance Airmap and it often loses position during turns. I have tried using it with the ariel mounted on the GPS secured to the yoke mount, I have tried it with the ariel remote stuck to the canopy with the sucker provided but the result is the same. In hot sun, the plastic on the sucker becomes soft, the receiver tips from the horizontal and position is lost more frequently. The worry is that sometimes the receiver commences a cold start cycle and so the GPS is useless for around 15mins.
