Hi - Search for the Astra Owners Net Forum - you'll find all the info you need. Those units can take a variety of software.

Either it needs an aerial or the GPS settings are not set correctly, Does it say "No GPS Device" or "Waiting for GPS signal..."

These in-dash units often need an external aerial.
