Road Angel plus - can't get a satellite signal

[ec2]

Anyone got one of these? I can't get it to 'connect' with the satellites. Any thoughts? Thanks

Parked under a tree? Next 2 a high building?

Thanks - tried it at many locations today and no go. I might have bought a dud one!

How long are you giving it to acquire ?
Sat navs can take sometime to link up initially (some longer than others).

What car have you got?

I'm still at the 'take it outside to get it to work the first time' stage! I'll move onto trying it in a car later.

Windscreen on your car may be shielding the GPS signal, if you have heat reflective type?

I have to use a seperate Bluetooth GPS receiver in my vehicle u sing TomTom on a PDA or mobile.
