Navman Not Working

[terry111]

Hi

I've contacted Navman support and they seem very slow at responding. I thought I would post my problem here to see if anyone has any idea.

I sent this to Navman and they suggested I use GPSINFO.EXE:

"I have been using the GPS 4400 (software is Smart ST V2) satisfactorily in the UK and and have just been on holiday in Spain, again the GPS worked fine in Spain.
On return to the UK, I cannot get a GPS fix at all (segments do not even start to change to yellow)- I can make the Bluetooth connection, COM port is OK but no satellites are found. I have left it running for 20 minutes or so before giving up (on several occasions) - in the past it has never taken more than a couple of minutes to get a fix. I have read through your FAQs and there is nothing obviously wrong."

No luck with GPSINFO.EXE so I sent this:

"I downloaded GPSInfo from your website as my ISP rather inconveniently deleted the file you sent me (alledged virus!!). The version I downloaded is version 6.9, I assume this is what you tried to send me.

However, it's still not working.

I set the COM port to 6, click "scan COM Port" and set the baud rate to 57600 (as I always have done), click "start GPS" and then click "Cold Start".

Various code scrolls through the setup screen (like $GPRMC.000328.123V36000.000N72000.000E......). Ths continues until I switch off.

UTC increases incrimentally.

The co-ordinates for Lat do change but only from N 360.00.0001 to 360.00.0059 then back to 360.00.0001 again

The co-ordinates for Lon do not change (from 720.00.0000).

No satellites are found let alone a fix being acheived."

No reply from Navman yet, does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
