This is an internal antenna.  Make sure you are in a clear area for reception. Check the diagnostic screen and see if any satelites are being shown.

check your hidden views under views .

do you not have a GPS diagnostic screen?
This could be an indication that your receiver is not being detected by the unit.  This will need repair.

Under your NAV menu, do you see a GPS Receiver Override option?

If you don't have it, maybe upgrade to the newest software.
