    I was planing to go out in the boat tomorrow, but I found out today I can't get a GPS fix in my Navman 5607 tracker. I have tried to restart the GPS as the manual suggests but nothing happens. Are their any tricks in restarting the GPS :confused: :confused:

    Obvious things to check are that the antenna can "see" the sky, and that the cables are ok. try using a spare antenna if you can.

    This weekend they are doing a lot of GPS sat maintaince. Not sure about AU but you might check your local notice to mariners for the answer.
