navman 510 fails to lock to satelite

[chrismmm]

sorry posted in begginers by mistake


Very newbie here so hi to everyone and hope you can advise.Wife just got navman 510, the question is why does it take up to an hour to lock onto the satelites ( even out in the open away from obstructions), when it has locked it seems ok until you power off or loose signal due to obstructions.Then it takes ages to re lock. Is it weather related as it seems worse when it rains.This technoligy seems very temprimental and iffy or is just me or have we got a duff navman 510.

Chris,

Don't worry about where you posted (too much)! The Beginners section was probably the second-best place you could have put it.

Because your post in the other section has already received an answer, I've locked this topic and would ask everyone with comments to use the other topic, which can be found here. This is purely to keep all the answers and comments in one place.
