Try this, cut from an old post of mine ...

With the GPS off, push and hold the NAV button then press POWER ON.

Instead of booting normally, the GPS will go into a "secret menu" mode, displaying 2 zeros in a box.

Use the cursor keys to change the 2 zeros to "30" and press enter. A small menu of options will be displayed. Select the Clear All Memory option and press enter. This will clear the memory of the GPS, reset factory defaults and turn the GPS off.

When you turn the GPS on next time, leave if sit, turned on, without moving for at least 30 mins.

The reason it happens is the ephemeris and almanac data, downloaded from the satellites has failed for some reason and is corrupt. This means the GPS does not know where to find the satellites in the sky. This above procedure forces the GPS to reset all it's data and begin it's download from scratch. All should be good after that.

Thanks RoldIT!!

I will give this a go tonight. Do you have a FX324? I notice there is a screen where you get to see the sats it is picking up, and they seem to come and off pretty quickly.

Thanks again

Yes I do have an FX324. I believe you to be having a similar problem to when I first got mine.

The above should fix your prob. This was provided to me by Magellan Tech Support in the states.
