Navman Tracker 5500 turns on but locks itself in the entry page

I can't get my Tracker to go beyond the first page, where we usually hit the ENTER key. It stays there for several minutes. Then it starts searching for satellites, endlessly.
I was wondering if I could just reset the unit to factory default. It might solve the problem, just as in computers.
Thank you
JFK

    Takes up to an hour to get signals from all satellites, then does not operate with the chart card.

    I'm having the same problem. Used to work fine. Now just says its "aquiring satellites" forever. If it does get a fix, it will only hold a fix for about 5 minutes, then goes back to aquiring satellites.

Apparently it is the internal battery that might be at fault or just be old. I'm going to replace mine as it costs a fortune to get Navman to do it. Can't find any info on how to do it, but should be simple. Only thing is that you lose all waypoints and other user input data (unless you have the PC Planner from C-Map).

Have the same problem??

Used to take less than a minute to acquire satellites now takes 10-20minutes.

Navman Tracker 5500

I am having same trouble. I contacted Navman NSW and went through all the settings without result. It was suggested that the problem could be the external antenna, if not a fault in the machine. I have seen an after market antenna for about $19 so I might try that. It does seem as though the antenna is not talking to the Tracker.
