I have a Navman F15 that will not turn on. It is only a year old. It has not gotten wet and has not been dropped and is fully charged. Any idea what is going on?

Check online type in name and serial number

You may have to go to the menu and turn on the your location option. If it wont find your house it might be because you are on a private road or the manufactures didn't update their info

Hey, I have the same problem, did you find a solution? where can I download the original files? thanks

There is a 70 page manual. Not that its much help if the satelite signal doesn't kick in.

in Australia you have to hold it upside down!

Seriously though the battery has to be fully charged to obtain a signal also in the middle of the city it may not be able to see clearly the birds . Other electronic factors can screen out connection.

Is it reporting a valid antenna connection in the pic that shows the satellite connections beoing made?

thanks for using FIXYA

if the unit is more than 2 years old the chances are the battery is defective/worn out, you say battery appears to charge up, so think you are unsure of the battery condition.

As Navman Support told me there is officially NO SOFTWARE UPGRADE, NO OTHER MAP and NO COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER NAVMAN PRODUCTS.... Because F15 is an SPECIAL OFFER for beginners... oh God.... I aquired my F15 in RadioShack.... Will try some inofficial methods.

There are both software updates and new maps for the F15 available at Navman's website, I've updated mine no problem.
