I was out on the Solent all weekend, Lymington/Cowes area and in sight of
West Wight all the time (!).

My Magellan Meridian XL gps (dated 1996) was having trouble locating any
satellites at all. I have re-initialised (what a word) but still no action.
The instrument has been in my nav bag all winter so I was not surprised that
the date + time were wrong but this is the first time it has stayed dumb
after a period without use. Batteries are fresh.

Short of fighting thro' the instruction book I'd be glad of some helpful tips.
