FWIW, both my Magellan 5200DX and Tracker came right up this morning. In fact, if anything, it seems the 5200DX was faster than usual but that's purely a subjective opinion. We used the 5200DX to provide steering data to the autopilot over a 15 nm course and, aside from the autopilot's less than stellar handling of a .6kt knot southerly current on a course of 100 deg (steering corrections to return the the rhumb line were on the order of 30 deg.), nothing remarkable happened. This was on board One With The Wind, going from Holland Point on the north end of Gibson Island, roughly 10 miles north of Annapolis, MD, to Kent Narrows via Love Point.
