I am using the standard Elite 5. Not real happy with the performance of the GPS on mine. I can turn a 180 and paddle a couple hundred feet before it realizes I have turned in some situations.

You may want to find out if there is an update you need for your unit. A buddy of mine has a Garmin that was doing that and needed an upgrade to his device for it to track correctly.
