Nothing to do with the maps, when you zoom out you see the Americas basemap. It still thinks it's in Texas because it doesn't have a sat lock in ID. Leave it outside with a clear view of the sky. If it hadn't acquired satellites within 30 minutes you have a problem, and maybe a software update will help. V7.20 from 2008 is the latest though.
If you want to check you have the ID detail map correctly loaded, you can set your location. Menu>Tools>GPS Info>GPS Settings>Set Position. Then zoom out until you see the continents on the base map and drag the map until you can see ID, zoom in and you should see street detail if the detail map is loaded properly. It will also show in the map page: Menu>Settings>Map>[Scroll right down]>Detail Maps [should show your new map enabled when pressed].'Thanking Posts' are banned.

Two isn't enough for accurate fix. Leave it and it will eventually get more signals. Future lock-ons will be much quicker.

4 is minimum to get a 3D fix with reasonably accurate elevation. 3 will get a 2D fix but the triangulation is potentially very inaccurate [large 'triangle of error' where you could be out by kilometers possibly].
You need to leave it for half an hour initially like i said.'Thanking Posts' are banned.

Move somewhere else where on the Satellite page the GPS "sees" more satellites. If the GPS sees only 4-5 most probably the place you are on does not have very good vision of satellites or worst the GPS have a problem. But better change you place and if you wish perform a hard reset before that.

It is not really waterproof but you do not care about it. I forgot it in car before a ford forcing a many time. Just dried and cleaned from swamp slime and no problem. One moment what no voltage supply to it in this cases because all auto electrical circuits below roof certainly was disconnected.

Sorry, I don't know. But I know from local offroaders that they put silicone on the cradle of zumo 550 not to get water inside and the cradle to burn.
