EDGE 1030 No GPS, no satellite

B_S 11 months ago

Hello all,

Since a few days my Edge 1030 no longer finds satellites.
I have already deleted the following files and redownloaded them via SW Garmin Express (for MAC):
- GARMIN/GPS/EPO.bin
- GARMIN/gmaptz.img

For verification I tried the following:
1. clicked on the ICON "BIKE" on the start page (depending on the profile)
2. clicked on the screen -> overlay page opens
3. right arrow pressed long (few sec.)
4. show satellites
=> Not a single satellite is displayed

I also have enough memory (free ca. 3,5GB)

Additionally I have reset the device completely.

What else I noticed: As soon as the device snychronizes with the cell phone, it has the correct time. Once the syn. is complete, it shows a completely different time.

According to the device, the last current location is somewhere in the US.

Does anyone have any more ideas as to what this could be?
(We were in South Tyrol fradahren -> worked wonderfully, then went by car about 150km further, now no more Satelitten).

Thanks for more ideas or the actual solution.

connect to your pc or portable and sync with connect.

Do the GPS signal bars on the top left of the home screen status banner have a red line through them? If they do; check that you haven't accidentally set the default ride type to indoor in the settings for the Bike activity profile

Nope. GPS is active. Tested with GPS, GPS+GLONASS and GPS+GALILEO.

Hmm strange one that. It could be a faulty GPS receiver.

The time difference is probably because when the device syncs with the phone it is setting the time as per your phone time/location. However following sync the edge probably updating to show an incorrect time because of where the edge thinks you are in the US.

You could try another hard reset but don't set up the phone connection & see if you can get the GPS part to work before then setting up the phone connection.

Does your GPS version show as 2.50 in System > About > Copyright Info ?
