GPS 90b out of date?
I'm trying to get a garage sale Garmin GPS 90 going and it won't acquire
satellites. It starts saying "SVA Cycle 9607 20 June 96 to 18 July 96". 1996 was a while ago. Is there something in this unit that needs to be updated? -- Roger Long |

Is there something in this unit that needs to be updated? No, but if it's been off for a few months, it can take an hour or more to download all the satellite ephemeris data it needs to begin acquiring. Make sure you tell it approximately where it is now (in setup) to speed up the process, or it can take even longer. If it won't acquire after a few hours of being on, with fresh batteries, and in an open area (not inside and not under lots of trees), then suspect it's broken. Check the BNC connector.
