I have a Garmin Nuvi 350 and for some reason its lost and can't find the satallites anymore, just has a big question mark on the screen and a message on the top saying aquiring satallites. Any idea's on how to get this working again, I dont remember pushing any buttons I shouldn't have

Its not that I need it to get around town, I just got used to looking at it, now it just doesnt feel right with it not working.:baby:

does it have a built in sat. sensor? May check the sensor/antenna for connection.

I don't know. Couldn't you have picked up the phone and called me?

When my portable one has gone brain dead I have fixed it 2 ways. One hit the reset button and the other was going to GPS info and let it sit and it acquired the satellites after a couple of minutes.

 

[LarryJewell]

I've tried the reset button, i'll thry going to gps info, Thanks for the tip.

Looks like your going to have to re-learn how to fold maps again Larry!!

 

[LarryJewell]

Software updates didn't help it... Every time I get a dollar in my pocket something happens.

:rofl:

 

[LarryJewell]

It's still not working

 

[LarryJewell]

It went in for repairs, Garmin has a very good customer service department..

If its only in the truck, some vehicles windows have coating that block GPS.

 

[LarryJewell]

Nope, quit picking it up anywhere, even the quick fixes they tried over the phone didnt help.

 

[LarryJewell]

Got it back from Garmin fixed, they just forgot to send me back my original box, instructions and cables. Turn time was a week, thats good customer service

 

[Kat]

I'm sure happy mine is working Was picking up parts all over and one of the freeways was jammed so I was able to jump off and take the side streets. Saved me :fluffy:

Well Pat says mine is surgically attached He on the other hand won't carry one at all, the hamsters use his, more then he does. That why every vehicle own from now on will have On-Star just so I can reach him :angel:

 

[LarryJewell]

I permanently mounted mine in the usless cubby hole next to the a/c controls, within easy reach.
