Hello asaf85
I have just tried that on a Mitac Mio 168, I do get all of the lat & long but had to wait for about 4-5 minutes on the Setup screen watching all the numbers go by before it would show it, but i never saw any blue sats in the image, they are all red, what ever that means as there was not instructions with the file i download.
I have removed some of the long and lat as not to show my current position.
Regards

looking at the screen it looks like you only have a 2 sat fix really to display long/lat you 3 or more sats to get a fix looking at it and pocketgps's when you get a sat lock the colour of sats in the gps veiwer go red so id give it abit longer to get a fix and make sure the reciver isnt moving _________________ currently using aponia truck navigation on windows phone.

Hi Alix ,
has Lancashire been moved a few thousand miles to the east?

I stand corrected, I see that Suffolk has also now reached Monday!!
What is the time base of this forum?
It must be somewhere East of the International Dateline?
