You can go to your GPS page and zoom out and then using your cursor pad and move your cursor so it is in the general area of your coordinates. Start zooming in andifferent as you do the the lat, long readings on your screen will become more precise. Continue to adjust your cursor position so the coordinates match up with known position you have. Continue until the cursor position on screen and your known coordinates match.
Push "ENTER" twice. Your way point will be saved at the current position of the cursor.
OR
Push your cursor pad to bring up your crosshairs on the GPS screen. Save that waypoint, then go in and edit the coordinates to match your location data and save it. The waypoint you created will move to the new coordinates.

Dear Sir.I would like to know that the availability of navman tracker 5505,5605 or 5507. I am ver interested to place an online order for the Tracker 5505.thank you. Ahmed Rasheed.Maldives, e mail. ah

The NAVMAN trackers are no longer available as the company stopped making marine products. You can however find current products at www.lowrance.com.
The closest you can find is a Lowrance Elite 5mHD
http://www.chsmith.com.au/Products/Lowrance-Elite-5m-HD-Chartplotter.html

In case you want to refer to a manual for 5505/06 refer this site.

http://www.navmanmarine.net/upload/Marine/Internet_Manuals/Tracker5505_5605/English_T5505_5605_manual.pdf

You can still find some old 5505 units at speciality marine online stores. Give this a try.

Latitude & longitude

Here is the way to find the Lat/Lon Info on TomTom.
Tap on main screen. You will be taken to Main menu 1 of 2. Tap on the arrow. You will move to Main menu 2 of 2. Tap on Browse map. You will see the lat/Lon info on the bottom left hand corner (of a selected location) Tap on another location and you will see that the lat/Lon will change to that of the newly selected location. You can use the slider on the right hand side to zoom in or zoom out so that you can get the Lat/Lon info of far off locations. However, for this purpose, google maps would be a better option. But if you know the address, use the find button which will give you easier access to Lat/Lon info.

Lowrance Endura-projections other than Lat/Long?

Yes, if you download the newest firmware upgrade version 1.2 it will add in other projections and datums, as well as fix other known issues. I would recommend that you run both the 1.1 and 1.2 upgrade for your Sierra, the 1.1 upgrade will fix some issues with the base map.

Both upgrades can be found at the following location: http://www.lowrance.com/en/Endura/More/

I hope this helps.

Need installation for pitot tube(Sspeed Transponder) and lms-332

manuals can be downloaded at http://www.lowrance.com/en/Downloads/Manuals/

You can probably get the parts from a dealer, or any marine electronics retail like Bass Pro and Cabelas or any of those kinds of places.
You can buy accessories from Lowrance at www.lei-extras.com

Not sure about the speed transponder? but if you are referring to the transducer, you probably need to go to this link

http://www.lei-extras.com/store/search.asp?SearchType=Category&Category=200+khz+transducer

That first item, part number 106-72, is most likely what you are referring to.

Toggling between lat/long and grid references

I eventually solved the problem by firstly doing a restoration of default settings. This allowed me to toggle but it was between two different presentation styles of latitude and longitude. To restore the grid co-ordinates option I went to main menu, the Setup, then then toggled to location and re-selected UTM UPS as the location format.

Latitude longitude

Create and save a waypoint for any location then update that waypoint with the lat/long you were given (just click on the lat/long and key in the new coordinates).

Installation guide

I've had great success locating full user manuals for the Lowrance products at:
http://primus.lowrance.com/support/resultDisplay.do?gotoLink=6&docType=1000&contextId=857%3A6.21%2C1808.1840%2C6.21&clusterName=ClusterPublic&lang=english&docset=%2FDocuments%2FUnits%2FLowrance%2FGPS&contentId=32918bdd-e14e-42de-8bf0-81e9cb11ab7e&responseId=135ccbe2cfd4f608%3Adcb03b%3A11a44cb2b51%3A5f29&groupId=4&answerGroup=1&score=480&page=http%3A%2F%2Fprimus.lowrance.com%2Ficr%2Funits%2FLowrance%2FGPS%2FGM4800Mpub.htm&result=1&excerpt=GlobalMap+4800M&question=lowrance+4800&resultType=5000#Goto6

If that URL doesn't work, please visit Lowrance.com, and select self-service support.  Click the "Product Information" link on the left side of the screen then enter your product name in the supplied field.  You should be able to find any information on the GPS you have!
