Need a Spot
Before you jump on me for posting this, please listen! My compass is flashing w - n - e and w - s - e. I have read all the posts at POCUK. I have reset it by pushing and holding the button on the lower right(the a little tick pulses along the lower screen). Then I went out and drove some slow circles in both directions and then for fun I did some fast turns in the snow. Is this the proper operation for the right button, the button is a slightly bent to the right and flush with the plastic housing. Thanks for you help in advance.

On mine. I hold the button and get the flash thing on the bottom. Then I slowly drive in one complete circle and then it shows the direction. That is all it is for mine.


I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

I will give it another try, maybe a little slower, it this doesn't work the gauge is gone and a new volt meter will be in it's place. I would rather have a GPS anyways. Thanks for your reply. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
