where did u buy it from?
If 2nd hand, and came from an area more than a few 100km's away, you may have to tell it to do a fresh satelite search.
how do you do that ?? have no cables with it
it will be done via the keypad. Did you get a book with it? I just had a look at the garmin site and they dont have a manual for it, even in discontinued section.
For my Garmin Etrex Legend, when it's in satelite search mode I just press menu, and select new location' then 'auto'
Yours might not have that feature.
have found a website that says put it in open view of sky and leave for a few hours to re align satellites ??
something to do with the 2000 rollover and time /date set in gps
its on the back veranda, switched on and looking to the stars
sounds like you are onto it, good luck

1. How much did the GPS38 cost you?
got a lot of stuff 7 rods / 4 reels gps all together at mates rates
what are they worth 2nd hand ?
1. Not worth all that much at all, bit of an antique, 8 channel MultiTrac and it is a bonus it still works.
