Hi
Just got an i3 from Somerfields at the superb price.
However seems to have a problem
Sat in my car, got it running but it refuses to find any satelites. Left it there for an hour, then on my garden table, then on my window ledge all for an hour or so then drove to work (another hour each way) and still no satelites found.
Reckon this is faulty??????

This may be a stupid question, but you've deffo got the GPS enabled? If you're running v2.70 firmware, you'll want WAAS/EGNOS selected from the Settings > System > GPS Mode menu...

...and if you're not running the latest (v2.70) Firmware, then update to that first (my Somerfield one came with v2.50 - out of the box.)
Use the WebUpdater application downloaded from the Garmin Website.
