Most often the problem I have is turning the GPS on when it is moving (say on a plane, a train or in a car) and then it can take an awful long time to locate anything.
Obviously when it gets lost (say travelling from Surrey to Mid West USA) it gets lost and has to be either manualy "located" or it takes a long, long time to autolocate.
Sometimes I get my 196 out if I am on a train but I think they have something in the windows (esp on Southern or SW trains between London and Portsmouth) that blocks GPS signals as I can never get a signal.
Works OK in the Warrior round Hazlemere .. but not the train.
When I bought a 196 I expected it to locate and get started quicker than my old GPS III but it doesn't.
