This problem is due to the internal architecture of the microprocessor. The microprocessors exhibiting this condition are the AMD K-5 and K-6 family, and the Cyrix 6X86 family. There are two choices available to correct this situation. First, reload the GPS-NAV PC Software (V5.2) using “instfast” instead of “install”. At the DOS prompt type gpsfast instead of gps. This will run a file called “pipeloop” which will solve your problem with the Cyrix microprocessor. The latest version of the PC Software, V5.8, has corrected this problem with the AMD as well as the Cyrix microprocessors.
