ok, the magnetic declination update has nothing to do with the gps not getting a fix. it is only to update the map database for searches.

for your gps receiver it sounds like you have one of those vehicles that blocks uv rays. your windshield has metal flakes and the receiver has very difficult time getting a fix.

the only solution is to try the rear window and if that doesn't work then you will have to go a different receiver than can penatrate the windshield. there out there.

also delorme has a serial emulation software that may help.
