The GPS does not have a line of sight to the satellites. Reposition the GPS so that it can receive the satellites signal.

You are probably trying to navigate in car mode instead of off road. make sure you have they type of navigaion correct

This is very easy to resolve. Connect the unit to your PC with a USB cable and go to the Garmin website and download Garmin Express or Garmin Web Updater. These programs will scan your unit and offer you additional files to download. If you still have trouble, email me at sharcnet-usa AT sharc DOT net and I can send you the files.

Send it to Garmin with a letter detailing what you did and ask for an estimate of repair.

I would suggest sending it to Garmin for an estimate of repair. We have no way of knowing the damage that has been done.

Create a new file in Mapsource, with one anonymous waypoint, and one map tile and send to unit. It will then replace what is existing on the unit at present. Otherwise, you'll have to delete the waypoints one by one, but there is no way of deleting the maps (unless they are stored on the Micro SD chip - in that case, just reformat the chip).

This happens to about 1% of the units I've sold. Sometimes the GPS antenna software reverts to version 0.00 which of course is nothing. Check in the GPS by going: Menu > Menu > Setup > System > Menu to see the versions installed.

Use Garmin WebUpdater (free from Garmin web site) to reload the software and update if necessary - they bring out updates a few times a year - it's all free and very easy to do using WebUpdater.

Try a re-load of the chipset driver. It is available from the Garmin website. I find that it occasionally becomes corrupt.
You can check by entering the "Main Menu" then "Setup" then "System" then press Menu and choose "Software Version".
If the "GPS SW Version" is 0.00 then a reload of the chipset driver will correct the problem.

Cheers.

Go to garmins site and download the fix for this issue. Have fixed several of these. They have the download there. I just fixed one the other day.

Try to load latest firmware on the unit

I finally downloaded the jetmouse v1.3 key generator and the key it provided worked perfectly. I installed the map on my GPS and now I can drive around Taiwan like a local; always knowing where I am going. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetness.

try calibrating the compass. make sure the battery type is set to the correct type.

1. Browse here and install the latest version of WebUpdater:
http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=999-99999-27

2. Turn on your Nuvi, press view map, press speed, press and hold the middle of the speedometer (the circle that says 0.0mph in it). After five seconds (maybe a bit longer), the engineering menu will appear.

3. Press "Next" five times (once for each page). You will arrive at the "Bluetooth Status" page.

4. Press "Clear". Confirm by pressing "yes".

5. Press "Updt PR". Confirm by pressing "yes".

6. This probably did _nothing_ for you, but to be thorough, I've included the steps.

7. Connect the Nuvi to your computer. Run the webupdater and if the latest version is already detected on your Nuvi, simply proceed and browse the list of further updates.

8. If "Bluetooth Firmware Update..." (or similar text) DOES NOT APPEAR skip to step 10 below, otherwise complete your fix with the next step, step 9.

9. If the "Bluetooth Firmware Update..." (or similar text) appears in your list, select this update and agree to term of service, and have the updater load the firmware onto your device. Unplug your device. It should powerup automatically. Power off. Power back on. Your BT should be back in business. Do NOT continue with the next steps. You are done.

10. If "Bluetooth Firmware Update..." (or similar text) DOES NOT APPEAR in the list, then you need to remove the offending update that is making WebUpdater believe that your Nuvi is up-to-date.

11. You can access the Nuvi by clicking on "My Computer" and double clicking the Nuvi link.

12. Click the "Garmin" folder.

13. Click the "RemoteSW" folder.

14. DELETE "006B055301.GCD". This file will be one of two GCD files in the directory: <DRIVE>:\Garmin\RemoteSW. The file without the "Date Modified" is the original firmware. The other file is the new firmware that the Nuvi believes is installed. By deleting the newer of the two files, WebUpdater will see that your Nuvi is out-of-date. Return to step 8 to continue your fix.

This should resolve all permutations of this nasty bug.
