Hi Guys

I've just fitted my RNS 510 and have a issue were the sat nav takes around 5 minutes to work out its not in Germany?  The Antenna is sitting straight below the air vent on top of the arm which opens and closes the top vent. Anyone else have this issue, any one recommend an alternative location for the GPS, or maybe I can upgrade the Antenna? Cheers.

What model version do you have ?, and what firmware is it running , was the german location Regensburg ?

ps when on map press map again and see how many satellites your getting  :happy2:

coop:
Version C and the latest firmware, yes the town is Regensburg. I get about 5 out of 8 but it takes around 5 minutes to pickup anything.

stealthwolf:
Sounds like Resenberg syndrome. Firmware needs sorting out.

ashley:
I have the rev c and the same issue. Seems to default to Germany when loses signal such as in a underground car park or in a built up area. Very annoying if you dont know where your going ! Then takes ages to sort itself out even when finds a signal.

My antenna is in the same spot, so that sounds like the problem.
