Anyone else not able to get a GPS signal for Navman PiN?

[blueyonder]

Just wondering if anyone else was struggling to get a signal from their Sat Navs over the last few days or is it just my unit that's on the blink?!! My Navman PiN 300 does not appear to be able to lock on to any satellites for some reason!

Anyone got any clues what to do? I've hardly had any problems with it after 3 or so years trouble free navigation. I've tried restarting e.t.c., the GPS port is open and set to COM2 and 4800 Baud rate but it says 'No GPS data' at the bottom of the Status screen. Can't think that there is a problem with the Satellites?

Thanks for any help

It's probably your unit. If there was something up with the GPS system it'd be well known by now!
Try it at different times of day and make sure you're in an area of open sky. It's suprising what a difference those factors can make

Navman have a really good customer care policy, should it be faulty you've probably bought the best brand to get a replacement/repair easily. Where did you buy it from?
