What to do if Raymarine AXIOM GPS product will not boot up?
- B
  Bryan GonzalezAug 18, 2025
  If your Raymarine GPS product won't boot up, it could be due to power supply and connection issues. Refer to the solutions for 'Product does not turn on or keeps turning off'. Alternatively, the software might be corrupted. Try re-flashing the latest software from the Raymarine website. As a last resort, on display products, you can perform a ‘Power on Reset’, but this will delete all settings, presets, and user data.

Why does my Raymarine GPS keep turning off?
- L
  lawrencebrittanyAug 23, 2025
  Your Raymarine GPS might be turning off due to several reasons: a blown fuse or tripped breaker (check and replace if necessary, and inspect for cable damage if it keeps blowing), a poor or damaged power supply cable or connection (ensure the cable is fully inserted, check for damage or corrosion, and flex the cable to check for loose connections), incorrect power connection (ensure the installation instructions were followed), or an insufficient power source (check the power supply voltage with a multi-meter under load).

Why does my Raymarine Car Navigation system not turn on?
- B
  banksianAug 26, 2025
  If your Raymarine Car Navigation system isn't turning on or keeps turning off, there are several potential causes: * A blown fuse or tripped breaker: Check the condition of the relevant fuses and breakers and their connections, replacing them if necessary. * A poor, damaged, or insecure power supply cable or connections: Ensure the power cable connector is fully inserted into the unit and locked in position. * Incorrect power connection: Verify that the power supply is wired correctly, following the installation instructions. * Insufficient power source: Use a multi-meter to check the power supply voltage as close to the unit as possible while the product is under load to determine the actual voltage when current is flowing.

Why does my Raymarine Car Navigation system show no fix?
- B
  Brenda SmithAug 28, 2025
  If your Raymarine Car Navigation system displays no fix, it could be due to several reasons: * Your geographic location or prevailing conditions may be preventing a satellite fix. Try checking if a fix is obtained in better conditions or another geographic location. * There might be a GNSS connection fault. Ensure that external GNSS connections and cabling are correct and fault-free. * The external GNSS receiver might be in a poor location, such as below decks or in close proximity to transmitting equipment like a VHF radio. Make sure the GNSS receiver has a clear view of the sky.

Why my Raymarine Car Navigation system cannot find network?
- M
  Michael PattersonSep 4, 2025
  If your Raymarine Car Navigation system can't find the network, here are a few things to check: * Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled on both Wi-Fi devices and rescan available networks, as Wi-Fi may not be currently enabled on devices. * Power cycle / reboot devices and rescan available networks, because some devices may automatically turn off Wi-Fi when not in use to save power. * Try to enable broadcasting of the device’s network using the Wi-Fi settings on the device you are trying to connect to, in case the device is not broadcasting. * Move devices closer together or, if possible, remove the obstructions and then rescan available network, because devices might be out of range or signal being blocked.

Why is the Raymarine Car Navigation mobile app running slowly?
- K
  Katie NavarroSep 7, 2025
  If the mobile application is running slowly or not at all with your Raymarine Car Navigation system: * Install the mobile app from the relevant app store, if the Raymarine app is not installed. * Ensure both the mobile app and MFD software are the latest available versions, as the Raymarine app version might not be compatible with the MFD software. * Enable “Viewing only” or “Remote Control” as required in the Mobile Apps setting on your MFD, because mobile apps might not be enabled on the MFD.

- C
  Christine MaxwellSep 9, 2025
  In the unlikely event that your Raymarine Car Navigation product won't start up and is stuck in a restart loop, it may be due to software corruption. Try downloading and installing the latest software from the Raymarine website.
