Sometimes the satellites simply are in a different area. There 
are 12
satellites assigned to each hemosphere which orbit the earth 
every hour and

it could be that they are in some part of the plannet.
I get this too and it is interesting to me to walk the same path 
at
different times of the day and discover how many satellites you 
get.  For
example, out here in Arizona my best tracking occurres between 
5:00 AM and

9:00 AM
In the winter, when I choose to walk mid afternoon, I find that I 
get much

fewer satellites in the configuration than I do in the morning.

Hello, I turned on my gps and it says acquiring satellites but 
just sits
there for quite a long time. How long should I wait for it to 
do this? I
noticed it's seems easier to get the satellites early but now 
it's around

noon and nothing much comes up.  Why is this? Karen
