Has anyone worked on a Garmin GPS lll+ Mine can't fid the satellites all of
a sudden. I down loaded the latest upgrade and it worked 2 times after that
and now this...

Have you tried to upgrade the item a second time? Fresh batteries and
attempted reboot? May want to go to their specific web site and check out
the faq. Does your instruction manual indicate a manner which you may
reinitialize the item? Hope this at least gives a bit of hope other than
posting it to Garmin directly<

If the GPS isn't used for long periods of time, it may lose it's almanac. Turn
in on in an open area, and let it reacquire it's bearings. This may take some
time. Also, try the sci.geo.satellite-nav group for better info.

I'm going to try the reboot and see what that does. I've tried both type of
finding the satellites and it's failed on both. I also tried my sons antenna
off of his in case it didn't have any eyes to see with.

I didn't find anything on FAQ on their web page about my problem.... I
really think that it's from the update. It took it several mins to find
itself then.
Thanks
