My step-father had bought a GPS, its a handheld, so you can take it in the woods or where the hell ever. He could never get it working, he passed away so can't get any help from him. But I just don't have any manuals or directions. I turn it on, and it takes forever locating any signal or satellite to get my position, and never gets any results. How can I get it to locate my position? There a way for me to enter my exact position? I do alot of 4-wheeling and getting lost, and I would like my routes memorized. Anyone who is familiar with handheld GPS's would love to hear what you have to say. IF YOU DON'T KNOW, DON'T ANSWER, please. Thank you

My Garmin 12 (old) sometimes loose all the satellites.
First - I go to a clear place, no buildings, no trees.
I suppose that you have to initialize the GPS (Look appendice A on the manual - link below). You have to select the country.

Follow the directions in the manual to set it up. It takes a while the first time.
