Sounds like you've entered the coordinates in the wrong format and a 0 (zero) is missing. You are right, some movement will also spoil the process, but the error on entering coordinates seems like the most common one so far when being new to the gauge.
So here's a list on what to do in general. http://www.captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1285100008/240
And here's something on that format issue.

| I think that your problem is already covered in that bigger thread and it really looks like you are missing some numbers (often "0") when entering your current position manually. This leads to a stop just before getting the green "nav" light on and also to this experienced change of numbers when pressing "INSERT". There already had been a guy running in the same trouble (wrong format, wrong coordinates), so maybe this page of the thread can help you. http://www.captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1285100008/60 Your "N55.320 / W 115.322" should be entered as 55 03 2 and 115 03 2 for example. The FSX coordinates display drops this zero when displaying the minutes (so "03" minutes get "3") while the Civa doesn't process the seconds in full detail (last digit is left out) but needs the "invisible" zero for the minutes value. |
Is entered as.
Mind that one zero in the example after the first two digits.
