Can't get a lock on my location

[Cezus]

Hello,

ive got a psp-290 gps receiver, costom firmware 3.52 m33, mapthis 0.5.20 installed incl. dutch map and dutch geodata information and a route from my home to my school.

He recognise the routes and can get a lock on about 5 satellites. If I press on GPS ON, mapthis dont lock on my location and i can't let it follow my location. The bar down right is empty red...

Can somebody help me? Ive searched about all the forum and searched about every tut.

you need to wait longer, because finding multiple Sats does not mean much if GPS cannot 'lock' on the Sats.
Try wait a bit more, often mine finds several Sats first, 3~5, then a few by few, it locks them.
It needs to lock at least '3' to get it working (i.e., green signal). Anything less than 3 will result in red signal.

Ive waited for about 15 mins and i still get no signal. ive had 5 satellites.
