Magellan gps 300 problems

Hearing that the admins do not like people re-posting an article from elsewhere, I have the below links to articles posted as a courtesy. The problem is Magellan will usually not get satellites upon a short term off suspend period. If one holds the off button down for 5 seconds, it turns it off. Turn it back on and it will find satellites within 30 seconds and lock on. If the satellite list has 10, definitely 11 or 12 full list then it will get a satellite, then lock on within seconds. I have noticed if the Magellan is in this suspend mode as the car is off, for overnight, the next day it will get a satellite lock just fine.

GPS Forums. Way to reset vintage Magellan GPS ? Joined: May 24, Messages: 2 Likes Received: 0. I have a very old Magellan GPS that is having an issue that I think might be fixed by resetting it but I can't figure out how to do that. When I put batteries in it and then push down the battery cover it automatically turns on. It searches and is able to figure out where it is but the displayed date is wrong and none of the buttons work. I know it's old and I should just throw it away but I'm having trouble giving up on it. Can anyone help? Ric, May 24, Nuvi-Nebie, May 24, Thanks Nuvi-Nebie. Yes, I would initialize my and enter the date except that I can't do that because none of the buttons work after it powers on and finds my location. That's the problem I'm having, Looks like I'm going to have to give up on it.
