Interesting problem…….
1. New batteries
2. Warm it up …. really good?
3. Open battery compartment, and let it air dry.
4. Acquire sats? Turn it off. On. Acquires, turn it off, on, etc several times.Just some ideas.
5. Delete all waypoints.
6. Delete all tracks and routes.Does this happen in the truck, or when you’re standing outside? I had a similar problem, and it was related to the factory coating on my windshield. I realize you said this only started happening, but just an idea.
What kind of Garmin is it? I had my Map60 where it would work and then nothing. Acquiring Satellite’s was all it would say. I called Garmin first, sent it in and got a brand new one and it was out of warranty.
Did ya try doing the whole reset thing?
