Try a reset. Hole in base. Push an unbent paperclip in to it.

| Could take several minutes with good sky view to refind satellites after a reset, too. |

Does this essentially mean that driving off before the TT actually aquires the lock just makes the job harder for the TT??
Because it gets the Almanac loaded and while it's trying to get a location of each sat in view, everything is moving, like being on a rollercoaster trying to see you car in a car park, but first you got to work out where the car park actually is to start with whilst tearing around??
This is my interpretation correct or not 8O |

Phew!! I've been looking on the webby trying to get my head around this Trilateration thingy.
It occured to me reading this thread that when I borrowed a Navman to do a TT vs Navman before I bought, I had traveled over 10 miles from one house to home and never got a lock all the way home, I wondered if it was because I didn't wait.
Thanks for that 8) |
