Hi guys...I have the Dell bluetooth Navteq GPS and it hasnt worked in the last few days. I can connect to the device using bluetooth but it cant find a satellite signal. The green light stays solid and does not blink. I drove about 2 hrs yesterday and it still could not find a signal.

It last worked about a week ago in my friends car when we went out. I was constantly turning it on and off though because it was low on batteries. Could this have messed it up? bluetooth seems to work fine though....

Let me know what u guys think....I am going on a road trip tomorrow. Appreicate your help!

Some windscreens block GPS signals. Test by putting the receiver outside the car or in the rear window.
