My 6 year old Navman 5100 map/plotter has gone on the blink.
Firstly I noticed that I had to select English upon turning on and then I would start with the map of Australia to start zooming in on. It normally starts zoomed in quite close so this was unusual
Later I noticed that there were no waypoints to be found. Thank my stars I have a second unit with most of the GPS marks in.
I admit that it still showed the navigation map so I was not lost at sea.
Last night I re entered about 120 waypoints only to wake up this morning to add to the list and find none at all.
I rang up Navman and they said the backup memory battery needs replacement so it is off to Navman for repairs.
Will keep you posted as to the outcome
