It takes a long time for my garmin nuvi 200w to find satellites. It has taken up to 1 hour. Very frustating - Can you help?

Every time the GPS is turned off, the same problem appears again when you turn on. I've had this problem on my last trip to Europe. It is a hell!

Okay well have you tried to return the item and see about getting it exchanged for a new one and see if that one works, it's not uncommon for a product that goes down an assembly line to have a few of them that don't work. I would try there and if they don't do anything for you I would call garmin directly.
