How to reset gps - Lowrance Iway 500c GPS Receiver

1 Slide the Magellan GPS unit's power switch to the off position, if your GPS has a two-way slide-style switch. Hold the switch in the off position for 8 seconds or more to reset the device.

2 Slide the switch to the reset position if your GPS has a three-way switch. These switches feature "Reset," "Off" and "On" labels. Hold the switch on the reset position for 10 seconds to initiate a reset.

3 Inspect your GPS for a reset pin hole if the unit has a push-down power button rather than a switch -- check the bottom and sides of the device for a pin-sized hole. Insert a pin or a straightened paperclip into the hole, pushing until you feel a slight pop. Hold the pin or clip down for 10 seconds and the GPS will reset.

Hi danpro,

You may try to reset your system (Polaroid MGM 0550) to put it back into gps. You can follow the following steps I have below:

To reset GPS.

1. Go to navigation mode.
2. Press and hold the map button below the display for 5 seconds. Then the GPS resets.
3. Verify that the GPS system is turned on. Touch Menu, Map Options, Settings, GPS Signal.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using Fixya.

Hi, to be able to reset the gps receiver, you will need to download a reset utility.
Follow this link and download the utility. On that page you will also see the steps to install and use it.

only one thing i know of will maybe work, that is to reset the GPS, consult your user manual for instructions on how to do that. If that doesn't unlock the GPS u must contact Kenwood GPS support phone number.

Hi there,

Well first of all try to reset your GPS receiver, just go into the main menu/settings and then select the reset option..... (note. resetting the GPS will erase all the data from your GPS and set all the settings to the factory default). after resetting the GPS again try to sync. it. please post some comment if further you have the same problem.....

Good Luck!!

Thanks

I had a similar problem and did solve it with the soft reset (pressing reset button). I have a One XL and there is a small reset button that you push with a paper clip. On the XL 330 you press and hold the on/off button for 15 seconds and the unit should reset.

My symptoms: Would not find a GPS signal. When I looked at the GPS Satellite status (press on the GPS signal strength bars, again on the GPS/battery status) you can see it locking on up to 8 satellites but would still not show a gps signal lock. Normally it only takes 4 satellites to get a gps lock. My other sympton was that when I attached the GPS unit to the computer and operated it with TomTom Home, it worked fine and locked on to the gps signal quickly (even inside my home). But it would never (at least for 30 minute trips) lock on to a gps signal. After doing a reset it began working normally and locked on to a gps signal after finding 4 or more satellite signals.

Hi,
Hold the power button for 20 seconds plus, to reset it
or press the stylus in the reset hole.
Hope this helps.
Regards

if you used the reset gps function, it will re-adquire in about 5 minutes as long as your atenna is good.
