I have a Garmin c330 Streetpilot GPS system. It says that it unable to locate a satellite. Everything else seems to be functioning properly. Does the battery have to be fully charged in order for it to locate one?

    my Gps works intermitently. On a recent trip it suddenly lost satellite connection. Then later it began to work for only a few minutes then again lost satellite. This occurred repeatedly during trip. At one point it said low battery but I had it plugged into the car outlet at all times. Could it be the battery? The unit is 4 years old.

    My Garmin has the same described problem occurring intermittently. It will attempt at times to acquire satellites and stay in the 'acquiring satellites'

    mode. It sometimes will work on a cloudy rainy day and not work on a clear sunny day so I've ruled out the weather. Any solutions ?

Unable to Track Satellites
My garmin will idle after turning it on "aquiring satelites", after awhile it will give me the white screen "trouble tracking satelites, are you indoors now?" answer "no"when the garmin asks you if you are in a particular state answer "no". It works for me everytime, don't know why, just that it works to lie sometimes.

My Garmin c330 has difficulty acquiring satellites in my new 2009 Camry XLE. Does it have something to do with Bluetooth? Does it interfere? Ever since we bought the 2009 Camry XLE in June, the Street...
The C330 does not have bluetooth capability. Regardless, this has nothing to do with the unit's ability to acquire satellites. Nor should the type of vehicle you purchased, unless the unit is unable to receive due to some feature, like something in the windshield, which is preventing the unit from receiving a proper signal. Does the unit work outside the vehicle?

No signal
You will have to leave the unit out in the open so it can 'see' the satellites. It might need from 20-30 minutes to acclimatize itself to the new location. It is set at Kansas because that's where the manufacturer is, so that is the last recorded satellite signal.

Aquiring satellites
Are you outside with a clear view of the sky? It should find satellites once the unit is turned on. Does it say "Looking for satellites" or "Acquiring satellites"?

If it is "looking for satellites" then it means that the unit have lost all data (time, date, location). If it is "acquiring satellites" then it have date and time, but not location.

Looking for satellites require a longer setup time (could be as much as 15 minutes). Acquiring satellites is much faster (not more than 2 minutes).

Date and time is updated from satellites once the unit gets a satellite lock.

Dropped the system everything working but will allow me to go to the map screen
Did you try to reset the unit? Place you thumbnail in the groove located under the Garmin logo on the face plate. Gently pull off the face plate. Press the reset button. Turn the unit back on and see if it works - Of course replace the face plate carefully. Good luck! Dr. Know

exhaust smells, lights on the dash are on, airplane sound in front end Yesterday my car turned on the ABS, trac off and service vehicle soon lights at the same time. A few months ago, the front end started making an airplane noise. I chalked it up to a punctured exhaust pipe due to the construction at work. Also, I get a strong exhaust smell when I pull out of a parking spot in reverse. I don't want to drive my car in fear of something bad happening. I did some research and came up with the hub assembly for the noise and lights. Just asking to see what anyone else thought before I buy parts I may or may not need. I don't notice any change in the noise when I turn my wheel in any direction either. Thanks!!
