Hi,
Your magellan roadmate 760 unit does not have any reset option.To over come the signal problem just follow the trobleshooting steps givven below .............
NOTE: If you are trying these steps from your vehicle, it is
Recommended to follow when the vehicle is in a stationary position.
Make sure that the device is exposed to the clear view of sky.
With the antenna pointing upwards, remove the antenna and then re-insert.
Swivel it up and down to make sure its securely placed.
wait for few mins and check the signal indicator.
Still not working,

prompts.
NOTE: The address that you are entering in the Set GPS Position should be the address at which you are at that point of time.
I had the same issue. i ended up buying a garmin nuvi 680 as i needed something immediately. months later i plugged the gps into my pc and ran diskcheck. no problems found. i then ran acronis truimage echo workstation and imaged the gps to a file on my hard drive. i pressed - and repeat at the same time on the gps whe nit booted to the select user screen. i went to the utility to format the drive. upon reformatting the drive i restored the image to the gps via usb cable in acronis. took about 4 hours to do this since its usb 1.0, but the end result upon rebooting the gps was that in 5 minutes it locked onto my location.
Does this do anything? It seems like setting the position is an override, and doesn't help the GPS locate anything.
