Ever since I put my LX200GPS 10" on my wedge I've had a lot of trouble getting a GPS lock with it. From time to time I seem to fluke a lock, but for the most part it seems to go on forever without ever locking on to a decent signal at all.

In Alt/Az mode it's very fast to acquire a lock.

In polar mode, I put the forks in a position such that the GPS receiver is uppermost in an attempt to have the best chance of getting a signal lock to little avail. No doubt the addition of my new guidescope will only make matters worse.

I grabbed a garmin GPS and noted down all of my location data, then input that data via the handset as my default viewing location. I have assumed that I can manually input the date and time when I bypass the never ending GPS seek routine and it will have the same effect as if I had managed to get a lock.

Just wondering if any of the LX200GPS users on wedges have any advice that I could try.
