Question about Magellan RoadMate 700 GPS Receiver

GPS Elevation/Azimuth Always Read Zeros

I have a Magellan RoadMate 700 that has been working for a while, but it stopped getting the GPS signal. The GPS status screen always shows zeros for the Elevation and Azimuth, though the channels and frequencies cycle through. I have tried setting my GPS Location and re-initilizing the GPS (including through the 'secret screen') to no avail. I did check for a loose connection with the GPS antenna, but that seems OK. There is one wire that seems to have been pulled out, it is connected to the 'J6' connection near the GPS antenna connector, but the other side is pulled out. Could This Be The Problem??? Thanks for your help! -Josh

My magellan roadmate could not receive gps signals because the connection between the antenna and the gps had lost their connection. I fixed that by slightly bending the middle connection on the gps together slightly with two small screwdrivers and the attaching the antenna and gluing it upright with super glue so it would not move.

Josh, The grey cable that you see (sometimes it comes in a black woven cable as well) as soon as you open up your unit has to be connected to the main board in the corner. Additionally on the I/O card or GPS board (the board that's attached to the rear cover) has to be connected as well. If you see any loose cables and you find a place it fits, plug it in. So, the answer to your question is yes, that could be the problem. -Daniel

All navigation units are GPS Receivers - that is - they receive satellite signals. So, no there is no difference.

No signal, is this an antenna problem ? Or is the unit not worth fixing.

it is not worth fixing,i had a 700 it worked until it loses sattlite signals.then i did my research and notice how many problems the 700. i decided to get the magellan mastreo 4000 and i bought roadmate 800,so get a newer model you will be happy that you did.

My 700 has no GPS

Danny, First I would try resetting GPS. It has been a while since I've worked on the 700's but there is a next to the GPS Status button that shows something along the lines of resetting GPS. It will then tell you that it will take 5 min. to re-aquire a signal. Try that first. If that fails, restart your unit and at the user menu push the "-" (zoom out) key AND the "repeat" button on top. Your in the "secret" menu now. Select Reset GPS user data (maybe it doesn't say that verbatim but work with me here). Press yes to confirm then check your gps status again. Let me know how it works out. -Daniel

Loss of GPS signal

Fred... be more specific in your problem please. It turns on and won't locate your position? Or does it just take some time? If it takes time, how much time are we talking about? Under the menu "gps status" how many channels are you receiving and do you have azimuth and elevation? Are any of the channels ALL zeros?
