I have a street pilot, indoors never get more than a bar, outside once your moving no problem get all bars depending on how built up the area is. I think it also depends on how its set up in the settings. Go through these and post what you have set and I will check against mine.

It always takes a little while to find itself especially straight out of the box, being indoors doesn't help. Cracking little bit of kit for the money paid.

ahhh Vincent thanks for that i was looking all over for that post lol

And yeah i think it was because it was straight out teh box because I got upto 3 bars in my house.

Just another little question....

I was planning on using those industrial velcro circular patches from Halfords. They are supposed to hold 4kg per patch (overkill for this gps?!) but I wanted to know if it would damage the black top yoke on my bike if i stuck the velcro pad on it because it is a VERY strong patch lol....

but do you reckon the black top yoke would be damaged by the adhesive on the velcro patch?!?
