lost satellite reception

 

Hi,

I had purchased a new garmin in East Coast 4 months back.
It used to work really well. Would catch the satellite
real quick.
Recently i moved to BayArea (WestCoast) and in here
it doesnt catch the satellite at all. It takes 10 mins sometimes. But most of the time it never catches satellite.
Anybody know whats the problem is ? Does resetting help ? How to do a hard reset.
In case someone know, how do i solve this problem please reply.

Thanks,
Ravi

Lost Satellite Reception

Depends on your model... I have the NUVI 350..

Try a reset:
According to Garmin (NUVI):
1. Unplug power and USB cable to remove external power.
2. Raise the antenna.
3. Press the reset button for about 3 seconds (under the antenna space)
4. Connect GPS to a power source using the power cable.
it should automatically turn back on and operate.

To rest the clock----might want to try this first:
Go the settings menu, press locale, change all, then go through the settings... this will include the time zone... might just coax the unit to aquire sats a little faster.

Hope this helps.

According to the c330 Owner's Manual, page 28.
"1.Place your thumbnail in the groove located under the face plate.
2.Gently pull off the face plate.
3.Press the reset button (according to the picture it is on the right side of the screen about half way)
4.Turn the unit back on; it will operate normally."

Hope this helps...

Reset the C330

No that doesnt help here.
It does not clear the date/data or anything !
