Yarraone Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hi Raiders, Last time I went out all my electrics started up as normal and lit up. but after waiting some time I noticed that my Navman GPS was not picking up the satellite? Just wondering if this means the unit is no buggered and I have to look for a replacement? or can it be serviced? I checked all connection and they seem all connected and fine and all fuses are OK? My GPS is a large 6 inch Navman colour GPS /plotter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmk1962 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I don't have a navman unit so answering generically. If it's powering up, but not picking up satellites and generally not working right it just may be hung - it happens to mine occasionally - just like PCs, or any modern software driven gizomos. With mine I have learnt that if I can't get to my 2nd level menus it means its hung ... and I have noticed it happens when the unit has had a few days in the hot sun (40+C) if I have left it mounted in the boat. Have a look through your manual and look for a soft reset procedure - this reboots but preserves all your way points etc. You may need to reenter some settings though. After the reboot check your satellite connections. Best of luck. Cheers Zoran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
