What can I do to fix my Vehicle GPS to come out of 'Search mode?'


I have a Roadmate 1440. When it powers up, it seems like it is searching for a signal. I bought a cable and connected it to the computer and downloaded the latest version for it (the Magellan software thing says ‘your device is up to date’ and has version 22.2.2 or something to that effect. It seems to go in to a ‘search mode’ with a little clock like or radar sweep symbol on it. My GPS is about a year old. Do I have to buy something for it every year? I thought it would work forever and I would only have to pay if I wanted updated maps. What can I do to fix my Vehicle GPS to come out of 'Search mode?' Main menu is dead and does not navigate me anywhere, just goes in to search mode. Please help. Thanks.

Insert the SD card into your computer's card reader slot. If you do not have a card reader slot on your computer, hook the Navigon 2100 Max to your computer using the mini-USB cable. The USB cable will allow you to access the SD card inside the Navigon 2100. Open the file menu on the SD card on your PC. Look for a file named autorunce.exe. Change the name of this file to autorunec.exe. Download the Navigon 2100 patch onto your computer. It will download as a ZIP file. Open the ZIP file on your computer in a new folder to keep it all in one place. Copy all the files from the ZIP file onto the SD card. Eject the card from your computer if you used the card reader. Disconnect the cable if you used the mini-USB cable. Turn off your Navigon 2100 Max by holding the power button for 10 seconds. Put the SD card back in the Navigon 2100 if you had it in the card reader. Turn on your Navigon 2100 Max by holding the power button again. A message will appear and tell you that you have unlocked your GPS.
