PLEASE HELP.
MY GARMIN GPS IS NOT RECEIVING SIGNAL.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
---------
OK.
The reason that the GPS does not see any satellites is usually beacuse
1) the battery is too low to receive and interprete the signal.
Ensure the battery is fully charged by AC rather than car DC.prior to use.
2) The GPS is shileded inside a building or within an area that it has no clear view of the sky.
Move the GPS outside or to a location it has clear unobstructed access to the sky and is also clear of any interference like computers high tension wires etc.
3) The SIIRF chipset has been compromisewd by plugging the unit in when starting the engine, This is the quickest way to damage a GPS or mobile phone. This type of damage requires total replacement of the mother board and often exceeds the value of the GPS.

THANK YOU.
