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.

i have tried it on the water  i have no menu item or view item associated with a gps  threseems to be something missing on mine  i looked info up on the internet and there is more views than i have on mine  i even selected the "advance" user mode but still nothing  .

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.

nope, no gps diagnostic screen.

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

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

They exchanged it today for a working one.
