What Happened to My Navigator????

[Audiophobe]

There's a wide grey bar across the top of the screen with the message:

"Follow the route"

and a thinner greay bay on on the bottom that says:

"Searching for GPS..."
No voice navigation.
Seems stuck this way.
I rebooted twice, no change.
Any ideas?

YOu have no gps signal. Try powering down or removing the battery and restarting.

Did that twice.

Maybe I'll try leave the battery out a few minutes and retry.

Man that's a long thread.
Anyone have a synopsis?

That also didn't work.
I'll be going to Verizon in the AM to exchange it.

Do yourself a favor and read the thread I linked above. It will address all of your concerns. There are some known issues with the GPS. Exchanging it will do nothing to help except give you some more time before it happens again. The best fix is to remove the battery for at least 15 minutes, then replace & reboot. Luckily, it doesn't happen often (unless you live in SW Florida where there seems to be a big hole in GPS reception). Trust me, read the linked thread ....

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...................
Started to work suddenly again, NOT because of the reboot.
Hope it lasts but, after reading the link above I doubt it.

Never mind. I see you just posted there ...
