1- download QuickGPS data
2- do it manually in google map - com4 ---> 4800

if this not work

some diamond have a problem when you use the GPS for the first time after the upgrade

HARDRESET will solve it

For sure you need to go outside... no gps works well indoors.

Set google map's GPS settings to 'Set by Windows' (I've found gmaps is the only GPS app I use that doesn't like manual settings) and go sit outside in a nice open area, for at least ten minutes for a first ever fix.
