Try moving to a different location.
Do you need to update it or have you recently done so?

its the one that just picks up speed cameras, not a navigator.
This is the exact one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170038860602

usually you have to drive about, being stationary doesn't always pick them up - it's the same with Tom Toms, can be sat in your car for 5mins and it won't pick up a single sat, yet drive to the end of the street and it's sorted itself out

tbh your best finding out if its got a heat reflective screen i think the sxi`s came with them. if you`ve got one you will need an external antenna.

My Sat Nav does this from time to time, takes ages to 'warm up' and track. Booster aerial may be a good option as mentioned.
