<html><head></head><body>The 350 is well known to have a flaky GPS receiver. I went through two bad ones before getting the one I use now. Just Google search nuvi 350 searching for satellites. There is plenty out there with this problem. The main problem is the external antenna switch. There is a well known mod to fix that.<br>

The one I use typically has to be powered on, then<br />power cycled in order to find satellites. The second power up cycle,<br />it finds the birds almost immediately.<br /><br />On Thu, Nov 24, 2011 at 9:12 AM, Bob Bruninga <bruninga@usna.edu> wrote:<br />> My NUVI 350 spends more time trying to find satellites than doing anything else.
