Garmin Quest cannot acquire satellites
|
|
|
| Need a little advice.
I bought the above unit several years ago and it has worked like a charm
until recently and it will not acquire satellites.
It did it first about a month ago and eventually if started working and did
well until a couple of days ago.
I have gone to garmin.com to make sure all of the firm ware is current,
Master reset and it is still not working.
I did a little google searching and the only thing that I could find was
someone mentioned that their antenna connection was loose, mine is not.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance..

| Had the same problem, its the internal connection from the hinged antenna to
the unit that gives problems. Try it with an external antenna to prove the
source of the problem, if it works fine with an external antenna then the
internal connection is the problem. Garmin will replace unit under warranty
or at a cost if out of warranty, contact customer services for info.
