Fast satellite lock since new firmware

I have noticed that satellite lock is almost immediate since I updated to the new Nuvi firmware version. This used to take almost 1 mile of driving before. Not sure if this due to the firmware or satellites (new ones may be?).

Which firmware version are you currently running?

slow to lock onto signal

Yep, I agree. I bought a Nuvi 260W for my wife after using the Nuvi 360 for about 2 years. The 260W would take up to 2 minutes to get a signal - and if you were moving, all bets are off. I was about to take it back to the store. I was running FW version 3.0 that I just updated to 4.0. Everything is working great now. Good luck.

Re: Updated FW for Nuvi 610

Use the web updater for your device. Easier and faster:

- Get Garmin WebUpdater software

Cheers

Satellite speed

I have just bought a Nuvi 5000 to replace my old Street pilot c320 and I am finding it takes longer to locate the satellite than the old c320 very frustrating it is located in the same place.
