The receiver is in on the window ledge.

Exactly which GPS unit is it - if it is in sirf mode TT5 won't recognise it - (TT3 did) you need to det it to NMEA - just a thought - Mike

If it hasn't been used for some time, you need to leave it on for up to 15 minutes before it will get a fix, and it almost certainly won't lock on if you are moving.
For example, I have 2 receivers, and this afternoon switched on one which I haven't used for about 4 weeks. I didn't have time to wait around, so started driving straight away and it hadn't managed to fix after an hour. When I got back home I parked the car in the drive and left it switched on. Five minutes later it had a fix! When I used the car about 3 hours later, the fix was instantaneous
