livorsi gps

[VetteLT193]

Finally got around to installing my new livorsi gps unit.... turned on the ignition and same thing, ends up at 9 o'clock after about ten seconds. Do I have another dead gps, or does it take more time to find satellites or?

Please help, if it ain't gonna work I'm going to get to intalling my northstar

I put the northstar in, gauge works fine now. Donzi sent me a dud unit I guess.

i had many a problems with the gps units from livorsi....

they eneded up replacing them over and over again....i think they know that they are faulty....

the one i have now sometimes works and sometimes it doesnt!

I mounted my receiver on the top of the dash on my 27zr with no problems it workes great..I think it needs a clear line of sight.

which unit, the livorsi or northstar?

the livorsi speedo of course is in the dash, the little white gps unit for it sits on top of the dash.

The Northstar I mounted on the dash, hard to explain in 28, but I had an open spot, it sits like it is flush mounted (i.e., parallel to the dash surface) but it is raised above it. the northstar is a 550i, so the antenna is built in.

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the hole in the top of the dash where the old Livorsi antenna went.

ok the gps is strickly speed not map or chartplotting,,, i was thinking it was a chartplotter with a map
