+CACHE KRAWLER Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 So I have an Etrex Vista that turns on and works in every way except it won't pick up satellite reception. Any ideas? I have been messing with it thinking maybe I need to reset something, but don't want to tear into it untill I have some ideas on where to go with it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

+BlueDeuce Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 The almanac probably needs to get current. Try 'baking' it. Let sit under open sky for about 30 minutes. The dashboard of a car is a safe place to leave it. Quote Link to comment
+IVxIV Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 How long has it been since it did work? Has it ever worked?? Yes put in some fresh batteries & set it outside "clear view of whole sky" for at least 30 minutes. If by then it hasn't found a single satellite then it probably has something wrong with it...
