My nuvi has a lot of trouble finding satellites any ideas?
You don't give much information here. Is the unit plugged in? What kind of GPS are you talking about? Where is it located? How long does it take to locate the satellite?
If you goggle GPS, you can get a lot of information about how GPS units work. Maybe you can learn enough to solve your problem.
Read in the paper the other day that we are going to be experiencing a high incidence of sunspots, which will play havoc with gps's, satellite radios such as XM, etc.
Might just have to grin and bear the delay and interuptions because there is nothing we (or Garmin) can do about it.

don't hold your breath on those sunspots...
...as the cycle isn't likely to peak for a few more years...
