Same here. Unit was completely unusable. Returned to retailer and got a cheap Garmin etrex instead.

Regardless
of which GPS unit you use, finding sufficient satellites can be
difficult if you are working in an area with trees/mountains/hills or
other obstacles. Here are some suggestions to locking onto satellites:
1.) Mission Planning. If you think you're going to be working in a tricky area, but sure to check mission planning. This software allows you to input a location and obstacles, and gives you the times when satellites will be best.
2.) Wait. It takes the GPS units varying amounts of time to "find" satellites, but if satellites are visible, the unit should lock on within 5 minutes.
3.) Move. If possible, move into an area that has a clearer view of the sky.
4.) Face south. This is especially important if you are using the GeoXT. Turn the GPS antenna so that it is facing the southern sky. The majority of satellites have their orbit so that they appear in our southern sky. There are also satellites in the east and west, and almost no satellites to the north.
5.) Rotate around. If facing south doesn't work, slowly rotate the GPS around 360 degrees.
Do u hv any available solutions to the issues abt the cobra 6000 pro hd gps for updates
I have none though I've searched the web thoroughly I'm sure there's an android software out there if not I'm sure one of the whizz kids,Z generation can make one. What works for me is using my Smartphone connect to Google maps they do everything and better than Cobra they even walk you through and tell you the traffic and weather conditions and they're not going out of business at least not real soon.
