Okay,

So I bought a used trimble from Beamer 23, thanks again and hooked it up today. After installing I now have satellite reception but intermittanly and the map still shows I'm somewhere in Plainfield NJ. Here's what I see in the set up screens. Again I'm seeing 7 or 8 sats but not all the time. Any thoughts????
