Garmin emap

Thanks mate i found a few things that needed to be changed

G'day truckster
it has a world map but the usa is the detailed one

G'day Bernie
i tried it in america and it still would not pick up a signal.
Have entered a new location and also change some settings that were listed on the website above and it still wont get a signal,around 30-40 mins then turns it self off.
cheers

Hmmm.... hard to tell. Often the odd things happen in the first satellite lock.

Where are you located ?

when i turn it on about 5 mins message comes up poor satellite reception,then list's a options
use indoors which wont help
new location i tried
store w/o batteries i chose this one because it said use this if the date is wrong and it is but still nothing,and continue aquiring which still dosent help

perth w.a

Or maybe not~

G'day pete

Well it works out side but not in, still cant get the correct date
you wouldnt know how much these are worth do you i paid $280 american?
Thanks for that i was starting to think i bought a dud
cheers paul

Pauly,

Thanks...you gave me the first chuckle of the day :)

They tend not to work too well inside. It's not an eMap thing, just a general GPS requirement that they need to see a large amount of sky to get reception.

The date should auto update with the time when it locks onto a satellite.

The $280 US is comparable to what you would pay here as they are now superseeded. The $$ start to rack up when you start adding the Garmin memory cards (which are a rip off, but you have to use them), Mapsource software, car chargers, Ni-Mh batteries etc....then of course you will want a PDA or laptop, Rastor maps, Oziexplorer.....and it goes on and on.

I have used an eMap for about 2 years now and am very happy with its performance. Have dropped it numerous times on concrete without damage - it is a good rugged unit.

Good luck with it, and if you want to use it from the Jason recliner, GPSOZ sell a decent aerial for around $99 :)Moggs ( Normanhurst NSW)

Never assume the obvious....

There will be a setup page somewhere with the time offset from GMT. NSWs local time is +11 hours so Perth should be +09 ?
