blu Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hi Fellow F500bt owners, Did you already noticed with your unit when you start your car in a basement parking or when ever you dont have any gps signal? How long does your unit acquire the gps signal once you are already in an open area. I was just asking since my unit takes about 5-10 mins or a lot of times just do not get signal at all and map frozes. In order for me to get the signal, I needed to reboot my unit. Everything works fine except for the map freeze up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ravage Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 GPS is a funny technology. If you drive in the open and then drive into a car park and then power off your GPS (switch your car off) and then drive back out later it can take a very long time to repick up the GPS signal. This is quite common with a lot of devices. What I used to do with my PDA satnav was power off before I went into a carpark and power up after I left, this way it would get the signal faster. Now you can't do that with the Avic though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
