Help! BT-77 can't resolve fix
|
|
|
| It's probably died. My BT-77 GPS receiver seems to have suddenly become
unable to resolve a fix. Although it can "see" satellites (I've seen it
with 7 in view but more usually its somewhere between 3 and 5) it seems to
sit there saying "yep, there's some satellites up there" but can no longer
work out where it is. This started about a week ago. There is only one
button - the on/off button - on the receiver and I'm wondering if it's
possible to "reboot" the thing by some magic keypress on this button. Sort
of switch it on and then give four short on/off button presses in quick
succession. Or am I going to have to shell out for a new one?
TIA for any help,
Steve

| not sure if your receiver uses the sirf chip or not!!! If it does then use
the sirf demo to reset it to factory defaults. I had the same problem with
my holux receiver and this software brought it back for the dead!
Go here to get the demo and learn about it.
