And one more thing:<br>After switching them on always check the following:<br> They must say:<br> "CARD FOUND"<br> "NEW FILE"<br>After a short time they must Beep (If Alarm-Buzzer is set on) to tell you

<br>Looking at the Filesize on the SD Card doesn't help to recognize this, since<br>the NaviGPS always logs NMEA Sentences; but they only show 000,000 as<br>position so it will be useless.<br>I think looking at the speed displayed on the Track Page might help to see if
<br>you got a lock, but I'm not sure if this always tells that they are logging<br>too.</blockquote><div><br>I've found that if you start moving first then it can sometimes take it a very long time for it to get a fix. If you remain stationary until it gets a fix then you will be ok. I don't think I've ever needed to power off and back on to get a fix.
