how long are you waiting before giving up? I have seen some phones take up to 5 minutes to find a signal. Just make sure that you have it in line of sight of a window or be outside while you wait.

well- i cant say i have had any luck w/ my bj2 either- it finds the gps device using the intermediate driver but then it just says Searching for satelites - ive been out side for over an hour w/ it next to me ... clear sky and everything- doesnt do anything... map is just black.. (i have loaded maps into it aswell.. it even recongnizes them in the data manager...)

I also did that update garmin released... that made no difference tho...


any ideas?

make sure the gps setting in the gps test program in windows mobile is set to ms based. also make sure the com changes match and the baud is set to 192400
