GPS/Bathymetry issues in On-shore GPS mode
When On-shore GPS mode is enabled, the Deeper app uses the in-built GPS of your Deeper PRO+ or CHIRP+
models. Following issues may happen during the mapping process in On-shore GPS mode:
Bathymetry is not drawn. The satellite status is constantly “Looking for GPS” or “GPS not found”, and the
Deeper fails to establish a GPS connection. Please try the following:
1.
Put the Deeper in the water close to the shore (up to 5-10 meters / 16-32 ft).
2.
Connect to the Deeper via Wi-Fi, then launch the FishDeeper app and connect.
3.
Once connected, enable the On-shore GPS mode.
4.
Wait up to 5-10 minutes (do not reel the unit in, just let it float in the water). Note: if you haven't used the
On-shore GPS mode for a long time (2 months or more), it can take longer for the unit to establish initial
connection with the satellites.
5.
Once the GPS status changes to "GPS found", you can start casting the unit and mapping.
If the GPS status remains “Looking for GPS” or “GPS not found” for longer than 30 minutes, please contact Deeper
Support at support@deeper.eu
Bathymetry is drawn on land instead of water. The cause of this is that the GPS of your Deeper incorrect
coordinates. Generally it is a result of poor weather conditions or overhead obstacles, but if the issue constantly
persists in multiple locations on different days – please contact Deeper Support at support@deeper.eu
Note: Maps themselves are not 100% accurate. While the Deeper obtains correct coordinates for mapping, the
map of the location (base map) may not be entirely accurate, and result in the bathymetry to appear on land. Map
providers constantly update their maps to be more accurate, and every time the maps are updated – FishDeeper
will have its map updated automatically as well.
