Andyy Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hey guys. I've done some searches on here but have not seen much on my issue. Not a major issue but one that I am noticing more and more. Recently I have noted that there is a slight delay in the response from when I press a button on the GPZ and when the display responds. (probably 1/2 second) Has anyone else noticed this?

Northeast Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Have noticed it on mine from day 1 andyy. Sometimes it takes several presses of a button to get it to select too. I thought it would get worse as time went on but if anything it has improved - or maybe I just don't notice it anymore. Certainly not an issue as far as performance, just a bit annoying.

Bada Bing Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Regularly have this problem. Can be upto 2 second delay. I just soldier on and hope it doens't get any worse. Factory reset has not improved the symptoms ... Cheers BB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyy Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Good. Had me worried, that the screen was going bad or something. Not something you want to happen on such an expensive detector. But as long as it keeps picking up gold... I'll deal. Glad I'm not going crazy. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Porter Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Turn off the GPS, do a full reset by holding the ON button on till the reset option screen comes up, this will reset ALL to factory settings but retain the update. I especially find this sluggishness when the bread crumb trail is used. JP 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyy Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 I think JP means the tracking on the GPS. Come to think of it.. that is when it became more noticeable. Thx JP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northeast Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Evening all. JP, that is the second mention you have made about turning off the GPS on the Z. I think the other was turning it off to reduce the EMI...if I remember rightly?? Are you able to expand a bit more about the issues associated with using the GPS please? Obviously there are some benefits to using it but not if it is limiting the full capacity of the machine. Thanks in advance (and hopeful ).

Andyy Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Went out today. Turned GPS off and did a full reset. Still lags the same. Must just be the way they're made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norvic Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Touch wood, my 2year old Z has not shown these symptoms as yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
