Have you set it for your area? Where was previous owner using the equipment? Does it show any satellites, but won't connect?

I am going to move this to the electronics section . . .

Same place as me Mallorca Spain . It doesnt show a single satellite ?

Just the screen that says Buscar Satellites which is searching Satellites

From your manaul:

Since the GPS receiver is initialized in Italy, the time to get the first
fix will depend on the areas you want to navigate in; within the
Mediterranean Sea the GEONAV should get the first fix in less
than 12 minutes, whereas in other parts of the world it can take
up to 30 minutes. Once the unit gets the first fix, the time for the following fixes is a few minutes.

If the boat is in an area covered by a differential station, when the
built-in antenna is used together with a DGPS, the top of the screen
will display the ?FIX 3D-DIFF? or ?FIX 2D-DIFF? message.

Update..

Its confirmed as faulty and the Dealer is going to try and get it fixed for me ,

If they cant fix it , would i be able to buy one cheap from the USA with a Europe nav pack , and get it sent over to me ?

If so what sort of price ?

As problem here is they have Spanish manuals and stuff and i dont understand a word ..
