Requesting help from anyone knowledgeable about GPS devices. Don't intend to misuse Free Republic but need Freeper help. Please disregard if this doesn't apply.

You're a brave soul, oops, I mean, you've come to the right place.
Wait. Nobody start until I get another beer.

Okay. I'm back. Let's start. Did anybody ask him if he plugged it in yet?
If not, did you plug it in?

If you had it running in another hemisphere, then it probably thinks it’s still there. The quickest way is to re-inaitialize it.. Usually asks wheat hemisphere you’re in...
Otherwise, most will figure it out in half-hour or so if you leave the receiver in view of the sky.
Te-initialize could be a menu item, or remove/replace the battery. Don’t know tomtom.

So, you're saying that you're wandering around Sumter, SC without a clue where you are? I think they still carry paper maps at truck stops.......

For what it is worth, I’m home on leave and hope to do some traveling. Sure I have maps and know how to use them. GPS works better though. Thanks for your non-help.
To: Texas Eagle
Unfortunately it was plugged in. I would be better off if I hadn’t. Maybe someday I can be of help to you.
To: goodn'mad
Just use WAZE. It’s free and it is 1000 times better than Tom Tom. If your phone has GPS (and almost all of them do) then just get the Waze app. I use it every day. My $200 GPS sits in the glove compartment.

I hadn’t thought of that. Take the battery out and replace it. Will give it a try. Thanks for the tip.
