Try new GPS antenna. Even a temporary one placed on your window ledge.

I still have the sam problem, but somtimes in the hidden menu under GPS tracking info I see that the prn numbers are switching and a max of 6 out of 8 satalites with S/N between 1.8 and 2.4.
So I thing the Nav found satalites but not very easy. by the way the I don't have Almanac. Can someone tell me wath this meens? Pleas help me if someone knows how. I already checked my GPS antenne cable, this seem to be oke. Greeting Rimshot. |

When the GPS leaves the factory, it has a basic orbital data set inside it When the GPS is put into service, it downloads the almanac from the satellites, and then it has much more accurate knowledge of the satellite orbital data. So onece the almanac is loaded, the GPS will be able to find and lock on to satellites quicker. Without an almanac it will still work, but take longer to acquire the satellites. Jochen |

If you read my story, do you think i have a problem with my antenna? or can it be something else also?
A new antenna wel cost me €90,- so to test it its a bit expensive. and with the s/n numbers there is something of a connection with satalites. Greeting Rimshot |

Maybe. you should put your nav computer in another car with a known good nav system, then you would find out very quickly which part is faulty.

navigation inaccuracies.
I upgraded my operating system also to the new v28 recently and I myself noticed that while using the destination/navigation computer to reach an address the checkered flag was about a half a mile down the road when the voice said, "You've reached your destination" which I actually had arrived at the correct address, however the display clearly stated the white line still ahead of the arrow (my car) yet to arrive at the checkered flag. I have a feeling some type of calibration is necessary, perhaps removing and reapplying power may have the MK computer recalibrate upon powerup, I'm not sure and only assuming. Does anyone know more about this, perhaps have access to technical procedures for upgrading operating systems?
Thanks |

The problem with my system was the antenne. When I put a new antenne on the roof of my mini everything was oke directly.
Thanks for the reactions, Greetings from Rimshot - Holland |
