I have a new (refurbished by Garmin) Nav 6 and have (as everyone does ) being playing with it. OK, that's my first mistake
Whilst I appreciate it's technically a sat nav designed for bikes, clearly it can be used in cars.
On the bike I have it in landscape mode, purely cos that is the way my bracket is mounted.
But in the car my bracket can turn around, so I put it in portrait mode, which should then give you a bit more map of whats up the road, as apposed to whats at the side of you.
However.....
Sat Nav works fine in Landscape mode in the car, put it in portrait mode and it loses all signal and can't find itself?
Leave it in landscape mode, but turn the actual nav to portrait (so still in landscape mode) and again it can't find satellites?
Stand in the garden with it in portrait mode and it appears to work.
Sat Nav is mounted on a sucker to the window screen, so should have a clear view to some satellites?
Anyone else come across this problem?
And apart from the blindingly obvious (don't put in portrait mode in the car) is there a fix to this little quirk? :
