GX1850 no GPS signal

0
1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
February 10, 2025

The Standard Horizon GX1850GPS may not be receiving a GPS signal due to the following reasons:

1. No Built-in GPS Receiver – If the model is GX1850 or GX1800 (without GPS in the name), it requires an external GPS device for position data.

2. External GPS Not Connected – If using GX1850 or GX1800, check if the external GPS device is properly connected.

3. Weak Signal or Obstruction – GPS reception may be blocked by buildings, metal surfaces, or other obstructions.

4. Cold Start Delay – If the device is starting from a cold start, it may take about 1 minute to acquire a signal.

5. Incorrect GPS Settings – Ensure the GPS settings in the setup menu are correct.

6. Faulty GPS Receiver or Connection – A malfunctioning internal GPS receiver or a loose cable connection can prevent signal reception.

Checking the GPS status in the menu can help diagnose the issue.
