Map 60CS Won't Find Satellites


Recommended Posts

Suddenly my Garmin Map 60cs will not find and satellites. I turn it on and it searches for several minutes, then I get a message on the screen that says "Unable to locate satellite. Use with GPS off?"

 

I've tried this in several diferent locatiosn in three states in the last week, I've changed batteries, tried it while plugged into the car cord, the same problem. Has anyone else experienced this? Short of sending it back to Garmin, any ideas?

I had the same problem with my Garmin GPS 60, and cured it by re-installing the firmware. I did not use the WebUpdater, but downloaded the update and loaded it manually. Once you have installed the firmware, you have to initialize the unit as though it was new. It's worth a try, but save anything stored on your unit before you start.

 

I think you will find the firmware for your unit here :
