Hi, I have a problem with me GPS. Whenever I put the SD card in the unit will not locked to any satellites. The pointer will wonder and it looks like is getting a good lock but the pointer changes from the arrow to the hourglass. It also shows that you are moving even if you are standing still. I don't get this behavior with the SD card out of the unit. Any ideas? Armando
Have you tried reloading your SD card with whatever data you have on there? Is it reading the SD card other then the odd behavior? -Daniel

Make sure that the pins that connect to the SD card aren't shorting anything out. Take the SD card out and make sure all the pins are even and not smashed down into the circuit board. It could be software though, do you have the 5.2.03 software version to reload? If so let me know if you need help with that process.
