hi, no the GPS page shows no signal on any off the satellite chimneys altough their is a cicular item rotating in the top left corner?

It sounds like a hardware issue. I know the GPS Receiver can go as well as the ribbon connector.

I'm sorry to say it's looking like it'll need to go back for repair. If it's no longer in warranty give SatNav Shop a call.

Thank you, Darren :-). Just to add that we don't charge (apart from the return p&p) for investigation.

Had a last thought before contacting SatNav. On 11th of Nov purchased a Re Radiating antenna from gps product code P1394 welll disconnected this from the system and guess what all works perfectly!! Just to confirm to myself it was the antenna l repowered it on and l lost my GPS signal.I can only assume yhe antenna is faulty so am returning to gps

re-radiating antenna????? do you mean external antenna?

Great to hear. Now if you'd mentioned that valuable snippet from the outset we may have suggested removing it sooner Rolling Eyes
