Zumo XT acquiring satellites

Post by MichaelT »

Hi . My new Zumo XT has stopped acquiring satellites, therefore no routes are offered. The GPS simulator is turned off.
Any suggestions? Thanks

I assume you've tried doing a complete switch off rather than just letting it go to sleep? Press and hold the power button until you get the option to switch off completely. Now try with the XT outside with a good view of the sky.

Then next step is a master reset, just like any computer after an update this is sometimes required. If still nothing you'll need to contact Product Support at Garmin

Hello again. Switching off the tick boxes for topo maps makes no difference . It can not find the satellites or a suggest a route .
Thanks for your support , I think I need to chat with Garmin as they had a similar issue about year ago according an earlier discussion on this forum.
