I have used GPS receivers forabout 11 years, starting with
a Motorola Traxar (6-channel) and later a Lowrance and a
Garmin 48, both 12 channel. In none of them did I ever see
what yyou describe. They all showed the same behavior as
those stationalry receivers poltted on the web.
The Lowrance and Garmin units can plot a track, so it is
easy to log for hours at a time while tied to a dock. The
Traxar required a lot of hand work to record for a few
hours, but I did it when the unit was new.
I am quite certain that your receiver is faulty. I wouldn't
leave without a second unit, preferably of a different
kind, to cross check.
