Didjerrydo Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Is anyone else having problems getting their Colorado 300 to locate after moving it several miles while turned off, then turning it back on? I'm having this problem repeatedly. After a 15-20 mile trip, when it boots up to the satellite ststus page it just won't pick up satellites. Eventually, it will give an error message, such as when indoors, or you can go to>Options>Autolocate and it will finally locate. Garmin admits having this issue with the Colorado 400's but say they haven't seen it yet in the 300's. Quote

I can't believe it would have anything to do with the 400t having more memory or preloaded maps (the only differences). I'll make sure this is covered in the Issues List. GO$Rs Quote

+apersson850 Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 When this happens, please check if the time is correct in the Colorado. You can see it on the status screen (quick press on power key). Quote
