Navigon GPS question

[rendez2k]

9 times out of 10 when I start navigation I get a message telling me that GPS reception is not sufficient and will automatically start when it is. I can hit cancel or simulation. Do I just leave it on that screen? It never seems to do anything!

Just leave it on that screen, when a signal is aquired it will start working.

Do not click Simulation if you do it will never pick up a signal.

Just wait and it should pick up signal. I find taking my case off and putting it on the front dash does the trick.

Thanks for the tips. I was hitting the simulation button as a rule which clearly wasn't helping! I've seen loads of comparisons of this to TomTom but are there any of this to CoPilot?

The chart atleast is in english:

I personally really like Navigon I have never used anything else though.

If you want to get GPS lock quick, get into 'google maps' FIRST and let it lock on to you. Then go to the Navigon app. Done.

(Often times, if you are in an open area, you don't have to do this.)

Yeah I learned that if you press the simulation button it will no longer look for a signal.
