Hi Sean

I'm not sure if this will help, but I use TomTom navigator with an iPaq and
recently was told to update the GPS firmware.

Not sure why, but it may be something to do with satelitte positions,
upgrades or something.

It may be worth contacting your dealer

I did GPS as part of my coastal skipper's certificate. I can't remember the
details, but IIRC you have to have a signal from at least 3 satellites from
a possible 5, if it can't see at least 3 (which does happen from time to
time, for whatever reason) then it will show nothing. Satellites do break
from time to time and, of course, if the US decides it doesn't want a part
of the world to have GPS coverage then you ain't getting it.

Thankyou all for your replies.

the alfa dealership have finally replied and are now saying that :

1) i need to get the software rebooting
2) as my car is an 02 plate, it will cost 1 hours labour (100 inc vat )!-
as i have had car only since march and only used the sat nav a few dozen
times - any thoughts;
a) could any non alfa dealers do it ?
b) how strong is my bartering arm ? as i am not used to this at all

once again, any help would really be appreciated
