Hi

I have a Pogo Drive which I still want to use for Speed Camera Detection since it still has a valid subscription. Recently it has stopped acquiring satellites and I was wondering what I could do? The device is on my windscreen either in the middle or in the corner.

Thanks in advance
John

If it used to work in the current position then it may have crashed its own software. there may be a hard reset option somewhere, but I don't know this model. Also it may have a 'satellite reception' screen you can check.

If you've just put it in this car/position and it doesn't receive sat transmissions the usual culprits are electrical interference from something nearby (engine/Bluetooth radio) a metallised anti-reflective windscreen, or even a mobile phone or tablet.

In that case, try it out of the car.
