TTFF

[jDude]

My iCN630 is acting up, it's not getting any sat signal at all, sometimes it would but would take up to 45 minutes.

Has anyone experienced something like this? and have fixed it either from reloading the SmartST software or the gps receiver has gone bad?

thanks

The only time I've had trouble getting a fix is when I've switched the unit on (iCN635, not 630 but I think the internals are virtually the same) with a route already programmed. Cancelling the route and remaining stationary until a fix is achieved results in quicker TTFF, I've found.

I have my parked outside for 5 minutes, nothing, stick it out side of the window, also nothing.

No routes entereted.

Doing the samething with my ICN510, I get TTFF instantly, like in 30 to 40 seconds.

I think my GPS receiver on the 630 is bad, I wonder if I use a ext antenna, will it work?

not that I need another GPS unit.. I have lost track of how many GPS devices I have.
