Problem with gps not connecting.




By rmamac on Dec 24, 2007

" "
i have downloaded tomtom on my mio 168 and cannot get signal from satellite. any suggestions please.

Help! I have a P550, loaded with Tom Tom 6, unfortunately it will not find the GPS. The current setting is software port = com2 and hardware = com3, 'other nmea' and baud 4800. On these settings I get 'no valid gps signal' but changing the coms about i get 'no gps system' so it seems as if its searching. It runs the original Miomap installation fine, and so the unit itself must be ok. Anyone any ideas please?

-   My Sky Caddie has been having trouble finding a satellite. Sometimes it will find it about an hour after I turn it on. I noticed that the signal bars are at the most 2 bars when it is found.

The last two times I have played golf it never found the satellite. I have reset the GPS many times and it still does not work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
