I have a Magellan Map 330 that's 10-15 years old. It will not lock in on satelites anymore. Is the software incompatible now? Will I have to junk this one, and buy a new one?

It should still work but if it hasn't been turned on in a while it will need to need to download satellite data before it can function again. Leave it sit with a clear view of the sky for quite a while (a hour??) to see if that helps.

If not there are some suggestions here (link) that you can try before junking the unit.
