Is there a lag between starting up and having the unit locate the GPS thereby showing no speed for awhile after startup?

Yes, a few seconds lag, especially when pulling out of a garage. Every once in a while it will drop out when driving, when can not get signal (physical obstetrical in its way...valley, buildings...). Overall works very well.

Actually I don't know as I haven't tried it out yet. I would be interested in the answer if you get it from another buyer. Good luck!

That's not true! In may application I could get my data samples by about one second. The initialization time may needs more than 15 seconds depends on the active location. When the device could find 3 or more satellites, the sampling speed could be less than 1 second per sample.

It depends on how much data you are wanting to save to the internal logger. If you are logging every NMEA sentence it's going to be slower. I can't see 15 seconds though. Look in the new driver if I remember right there is a way to speed it up using interrupts.

Probably normal since you reset the ECU. Anytime you do that, you should do a normal startup but let it sit for 10 minutes or so to let the computer calibrate based on the sensor input. Low idle could be normal due to that auto calibration period.

I am not sure how to fix that. Mine works just fine. You may need to send it back for a replacement unit. Also I didn't have to plug in my GPS sensor.

You need to use the VIRB Edit video editing program (free). Apparently their are also plug-ins for other video editing programs as well. the GPS data shows up as speed, elevation, location, ...

Plugged it in and it said it wasn't fast enough to run games... though it seems to run the one game (risk factions) I did put on it and stores my profile. Waiting to see if there are any other drawbacks.

Mine's doing the same thing as William's but it did it before I upgraded the firmware and the upgrade won't fix it. I've sent two problem requests off to Magellan and all I get is a computer response telling me to reset the unit and do the screen test. I've done that several times and one of those times I got about an hour's worth of proper operation. It's a defective unit but I don't think Magellan cares!

Hello. Not sure about your problem, but sometimes if the memory is full and phone is out of space weird things happen . My cell phone store guy recommends updating the software once a year. I rarely used tbe GPS function, but did notice it was never as quick and responsive as my new LG phone. Try the software update, maybe it will clean the problem up. I'm not that tech savvy, but have heard the Triumph phone has a limited operating system, hence being slow or not loading. But even with all that, I still prefer the Triumph phone to the new and improved LG phone I have now. The Triumph phone lasted for 2-1/2 years, lots of bumps, drops and dirt. No cell phone lasted as long. Good luck. Kem

Yes, you must pair-up every time. Getting the fixes for gps actually takes a little longer.AND you must also remember to press start. It is really not much of a hassle.

Thanks for the info. Will check to see if I have the auto motion plus turned on

I've had the Maestro 4040 for about a week, and I'm having a major problem with it. Right now while driving a route the unit will often go a bit wonky, as in it will stop announcing street names, or the map will show a completely different area than where I am, or the progress bar screen will freeze. The unit will then reboot itself, and after it comes back it will operate correctly until I power the unit off and then back on after a period of time. Still working with Magellan support on this one, this stuff seems to have started happening after a firmware upgrade.

Yes gives you the correct speed must be that the reference GPS are connected to strong signal.

No I am not having those type of issues, but I have had some need of support, and in contacting Garmin support they have resolved my problems, including reinstalling updated firmware and software. So I advise you to go directly to them for help on these issues.

Are you sure the GPS on your phone isnt picking up the speed for you? Maybe the whole thing isnt pairing? If you put it inside on a trainer, you could determine that. Or disable the GPS on your phone. I use the ROAD BIKE PRO app for iphone, and it will tell you if the sensor is working or not (Green check marks). If its not, you unpair it and repair it.

There is a lag and it seems to vary. The camera restarts on its own if the power is interrupted but has to reconnect to the router and that does take maybe a minute or even 2 but it does come back up as soon as it can get online.

No, it will take 3-4 minut to start GPS after your car start. maximum after 3-4 times of your car off and on it will stop to work. Then purchased Orginal Garmin Charger with 19USD and it is working perfectly.
