Maybe try a full reboot of the system using the small switch on the back

What navigation software are you using?? Have you made sure the GPS ariel is folded away from the back and able to see the sky. TomTom software requires you to change the GPS reciever in the TOMTOM options. (it did with me anyway)

Using Navigator 5, the ariel is opened aiming at sky, the signal is showing red (detecting a signal) but should turn green when received.

Help please!

I have the micromaxx PDA.

I have installed TomTom on it and it works fine BUT despite the fact that it does have a satellite lock and will navigate perfectly it shows that it has no satellite signal.

The 'bars' show no signal - tap on those and the bars have '0 satellites' shown below - tap on that and it shows 'No valid GPS signal!' but the display shows 8 satellites tracked with a good strength.

Any thoughts please it works but claims to have no signal - the screen even colours correctly (goes grey if no signal)??

Its just that I want the 'strength bars' to work correctly.

i have navman pda exacltly same as ones from somerfield and if there is thick cloud cover it wont pick a signal up,once you get one it will keep it until you turn it off,and its the same with my road angel,once there is a break in the clouds they both get a signal immediately
