    GPS Not Connected!

    I'm suddenly getting an error message when I try to initialize the GPS in my Infill T3 that says "GPS Not Connected!" I've checked the physical connection and it seems fine and the cable doesn't seem to be damaged. Could I have had a hardware failure or is there something else I should check? This is bad timing as I'm taking the FJ on a roadtrip tomorrow.

    I'm starting to wonder if I have some flakey hardware with my Infil T3. Still no luck getting the GPS to work again, my microphone jack isn't working and about one in eight hibernates, the screen stops when it goes horizontal and never retracts until I restart.

    Should I call in?

    On the plus side I created a video from my webcam on a trip from Kansas City to Boulder. You can view it here. For most of the trip I was uploading the images to the web via my KR1 and was surprised at how well the Verizon network was built out along I-70. I was also able to listen to Internet Radio for a good part of the trip.

    That might be a good idea. I don't know about the T3 unit, but there's definitely something that's not working.

    Not that's just cool, even with the long pauses at Ihop, WalMart and Prairie Dog Town.
    I hope you got the Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity at the IHOP! It's just fun to order, and it's impossible to order and keep a straight face.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?

    I love the music, and of course, everyone loves the Rooty Tootie Fresh and Fruity

    same issues

    Terry,

    I had similar issues and eventually had to send it back. The staff has been very helpful and have been very easy to deal with.

    I have had the same problem. Once I did a upgrade to 1.5.7 everthing was working great. Then yesterday I let my OS update itself with patchs and now it is not working again.
    I will look at it a little better later and see if I can figure out what is causing it. I have found that sometimes if I restart the whole system it will fix it for a while.

    Good Luck
