How long does it normally take for the unit to find the satellites? I installed the software,PrymeNav, selected autodetect gps....4800 baud and com2. I have got a Lat and Lon but sats 0.Am i missing something? |

You need a good uninterrupted sky view and should allow anywhere from 5 - 30 mins for the first out of the box fix.
You need to be outside for this. _________________ Darren Griffin |

It needs to search every time it starts but only the very first fix takes so long, in normal use it should aquire a fix within a minute or so and often less.
Don't forget that a GPS receiver needs to see the sky so won't work or will work very poorly indoors! _________________ Darren Griffin |

Soft reset the unit (insert the stylus tip into the 'reset' hole). Then configure PrymeNav for COM2 and 4800bps rather than allowing it to seek the settings automatically. _________________ Darren Griffin |

Now you know why they call this 'bleeding edge technology'. It's your head that's the bleeding edge and the technology that's the cause ;) _________________ Darren Griffin |

I suggest you start a NEW TOPIC with the title "Help rqd with H2215 setting up GPS". That way folk with H2215 knowledge will respond
This is a MIO 168 thread and H2215 users may not open it and see your needs.
Please do not respond to this post. Keep the thread ON the Mio topic.
