Thread: Acquisition of satellites in Kenwood DNX 7200 (Garmin map)

Hello,

I have the same issue with my DNX7200. I did find one temporary "workaround" for it: keep waiting until the unit comes up with the question if you are indoors or not. Click 'No' here.
Then the next question comes up: if you moved the unit more than 1000km. Answer 'Yes', and watch the unit find enough satellites within a minute or 2!
It's a hassle and you have to wait, but it works for now.

I did contact kenwood in the Netherlands, they confirmed the issue and sending me to a page at the garmin website about the rollover. They also told me they doubt that garmin will release an update for a unit of this age.
So i asked kenwood if they could maybe help and apply some gentle pressure to garmin because i suspect there are still quite a few of these units around!
I also contacted garmin but didn't hear from them about it yet.

As far as i can tell it is a garmin software issue, and it shouldn't be that hard to solve it considering what happens when you answer Yes on the 1000km question..
