Go 300 location thinks i'm miles away from where I really am

Hi all; I've just updated a mate's Go 300 with the SE navcore 8.412.1336, and added the UK 870.3406 maps.

I've ran Tomtom home and updated mapshare etc.

Problem is, when I turn the unit on, it thinks i'm about 20 miles away from where I actually live. Even if I set it to navigate to a destination, it still thinks the starting point is the wrong map location.

Is there any way to update the satellite list?

Any thoughts on how to correct this?

Cheers

Give this attached TT-QuickGPSFix patch a go.

Hi, I have already replied to this thread, but nothing is showing up, so rather than run the risk of appearing to be rude and ungrateful for the excellent help, I am resubmitting.
I copied 3 files from an old ephem backup on a different unit, and copied them into the Go300. As soon as the unit booted up, it found 8 satellites (I believe 4 is the minimum to get a good signal lock).

Tomtome home still does not show up quickfix, maybe because the Go300 uses a Sirfstar ll chipset and not a Sirfstar lll?

Thanks for the help as ever.

1. Over the weekend, Navitotal switched to a new server. There was a small hiccup & some posts were lost. Yours might have been 1 of them.
2. Good call. I apologize for not catching that.

Ah, that explains it then :). No need for apologies tendriver, I am grateful as always for the help given. You can close this thread :)
