If you haven't heard from Garmin yet, you should call them or return the GPS
to where you bought it. POSITION should appear in that list and you should
be able to display your latitude/longitude on the Map page and probably some
other pages, too.

Garmin's always answered my emails within a couple of days.
In the meantime, did you use the Comm Tab of the Main Menu to set Com 1
and
Com 2 to NMEA In/NMEA Out?

Hello,

I have e-mailed the problem to their tech support but as I read here
and there that they never answer....

In the owner's manual p.26 Garmin gives the list of data that can be
displayed in text format through alphabetical order :
- ....
- POINTER
- POSITION
- SONAR
- SPEED
- ....

When you actually run through the scrolling list you find

- ....
- POINTER
- SONAR
- SPEED
- ....


So there is no way to display the current position coordinates on any
page except by entering Mark and then deleting the waypoint thus
created, which is stupid.
Has anyone met the problem ?

A GPS that cannot display the position , that sounds downright
incredible !!

I checked that I have the latest software version : 2.50

You are right. I think I'll call Garmin if they don't reply to my mail
.. I will not return it to the provider since it is was ordered online
from compass.com in GB and I can't expect any help from them. Those do
not seem to know what they sell : they sent me an internal aerial type
whereas I had ordered an external aerial type : the explanation they
gave is that the ad on their site had a mistake in it . If you try to
order a 172C from their site you can get anything but what you've
ordered (and do not trust their references , they are useless and
false) . Appalling !!
