Bob, I believe that you might need to set the time and date in the GPS to get it oriented since it has been turned off of a long period. I do not have this type of GPS, but I have a friend who has an older unit ( I do not remember what brand it is ) and it occasionally loses it's mind. The Time from GMT has to be reset, then it is happy and locates the satellites. Check the manual for the procedure.

I have a like new Bendix-King Handheld GPS NAV COM that has not been used for about 3 yrs. The database is dated 1996. Took it out of storage and it will not access the GPS system otherwise it works. It was working when put in storage. Is it possible that the outdated database will stop it from accessing the GPS navagation functions. Can't even get the map to com uo using eather the internal or external ant. I get a message " not enough signal for navigation . Any ideas. ????? This is only my backup com radio & GPS but I would like to be able to use it as it was quite expensive when I bought it new in 1966. Iam using a Garmin 196 now as primary GPS which works great.
