Is anyone else having this problem. Is anyone else having this problem It you review this post it seems that not a lot of complaints about download time. Be sure to check out the FAQ tab located on top right of the screen and check out all the custom poi files that are available for download to your GPS. To get started here are some tools you will need. Garmin's software for uploading POI files to your Garmin device.
Needed for all the POI Factory custom poi files you may want to install. Garmin Express is the main tool for updating and managing all your Garmin devices. Such as updating maps,software and registering your unit with Garmin. For downloading and installing software,vehicles and voice updates to your device.
Always make sure your GPS has the latest software. I would suggest that you make a complete backup of your GPS files. Members have reported that their GPS files have been accidentally deleted lost or damaged. Some errors even resulted from updating new software. So it is important to have your backup files ready so that you can restore your device back to its prior status. Here is a video that may help. Video 1. There are a lot of variables.
The obvious one is how fast is your actual sustained connection, not the advertised speed of your ISP. You can even control download schedules. Garmin Express lets you transfer all your favorites from one device to another with one click.
It couldn't be simpler. Never lose your data again. Garmin Express makes it easy to back up and restore saved addresses, routes and waypoints to and from your computer. Full Specifications.

I tried the other day driving from where I work to a store about 5 minutes away. I got to the store before it got the signal.
It's not that big of a deal I guess, since I'll be using it mainly for long trips, but I just found it odd is all. Bignate Lifer. Sep 5, 13, 1 0. Last edited: May 9, Feb 17, 8, 2 What I did to make it acquire a satellite faster is to tell it which city i'm going too. I don't know why but that works. When I tell it which city I'm in, it won't work. Bignate said:. Everybody quotes the government accountability saying they had concerns about the longterm viability of the GPS.
Nobody pays any attention to the Air Force's response two days later that said that they didn't foresee anything that was a high risk to the GPS system. They're on track to launch 10 more satellites in and which should be enough to keep the system up and running. The best part about the new ones is that the new block IIF satellites should drastically increase the ability to pick up a solid signal and allow civilian GPS to get a more accurate signal.
As for it being slow to locate where it is, my boss mentioned something that may help. Apparently his GPS remembers where it was last used and uses that as a starting point for trying to figure out where it is when you turn it on. If it's near where it was when it was turned off it is able to figure out its location significantly faster. Viperoni Lifer. Jan 4, 11, 1 Yeah my Garmin is quite sluggish too IMO. Meghan54 Lifer. Oct 18, 10, 3, I've noticed more what Zenmervolt stated.
If I power up my Garmin at the same point I shut it off, it connects to the sats quite quickly. On the other hand, if I power it up when I've moved, esp. And if you're moving while trying to find the sats, it'll increase the time even more. Feb 8, 1, 7 Good luck. Dec 4, 18, 1 0. Zenmervolt said:. The systems use predictive positioning based on an internal clock. So if you fire it up again the very next day from the same spot, it will lock on faster because it has a rough idea of which satellites it should be looking for and where it is.
When you let it sit for a long time or when you've moved very far since the last time it was used, that predictive algorithm doesn't help, so it has to check each satellite and figure the position from scratch. This is why it's much faster if you're turning the unit on near the same place where it was turned off.
Cell phones can get rough location from the cell towers within a couple km , which, if combined with good good enough programming, can be used to approximate the spot and speed GPS acquisition. Essentially, the unit doesn't have to "remember" a rough position, because it always "knows" the rough position from cell tower signals. At least, that's my theory for why cell phones lock on faster based on my understanding of how the predictive algorithms are used to speed GPS acquisition in Garmin units.
