How long does it normally take for the unit to find the satellites? I installed the software,PrymeNav, selected autodetect gps....4800 baud and com2. I have got a Lat and Lon but sats 0.Am i missing something?

You need a good uninterrupted sky view and should allow anywhere from 5 - 30 mins for the first out of the box fix.

You need to be outside for this.

Thanks for that...took it outside and bingo!! It found 3 sats.Does it remember these or will it search every time i start it up?

It needs to search every time it starts but only the very first fix takes so long, in normal use it should aquire a fix within a minute or so and often less.

Don't forget that a GPS receiver needs to see the sky so won't work or will work very poorly indoors!

Soft reset the unit (insert the stylus tip into the 'reset' hole). Then configure PrymeNav for COM2 and 4800bps rather than allowing it to seek the settings automatically.

Now you know why they call this 'bleeding edge technology'. It's your head that's the bleeding edge and the technology that's the cause ;)
