Thanks Dan .. not sure if it was "me" or "them" LOL
We have taken out and replaced the batteries a few times, but haven't let it
sit for a while without batteries. I also read a theory that it might be the
internal battery and to "plug it in" for a while. Will try that later tonight.
I know unsetting and resetting and telling it it is in a new position etc has
not worked. It's just been rather "sluggish" the last month or so. When brand
new it locked on very quickly and it also did real well in the car. Not
seeing the same performance now and almost impossible to get or maintain lock
in the car. And, it makes my husband darn nervous when I hang my arm out the
window with an expensive piece of electronic equipment at the end of it.

Nancy,
As of about 20 minutes ago the garmin.com site was down and not responding.
Something you might try is to take the batteries out of the GPS and leave
them out for a while and then put them back in and fire it up. Hopefully it
will think it is a new unit and reestablish satellite linkages.
Not sure if that will help but it sure can't hurt

Ever since the TKL of the group fired up he GPSr on the airplane it's been
acting odd especially having a longer than to be expected time acquiring
satellites. It seems to think every time we turn it on it's in a new place.
I've seen in the geocaching.com forums people with few similar problems -- and
am working through all the suggestions. Meanwhile, I'm not getting any of the
Garmin site to load. Anyone else?
