Acquiring satellittes function is not working

The problem: when I turned on my Garmin Edge 305, the "Acquiring Satellites" screen showed no satellites at all. It started doing this intermittently, but now it was happening all the time. Also, when this happened, the unit displayed incorrect date and time. I also noted that when I accessed the "About Edge" option from my unit ("Settings>System>General>About Edge"), the "GPS" field said "0.00".

The solution provided by Garmin Support: "It sounds like there might be some corruption in the satellites data of your device. To delete this information, while the unit is powered OFF press the Power and Down button for 15 seconds. Then set the device outside for a minimum of 30 minutes to acquire satellites and the satellite data."

It didn't work for me, but maybe it'll work for you. Anyway, today I turned on my Edge 305 before my training ride and, miraculously, it recognized and acquired satellites again, displayed the correct date and time and the "GPS" field said "3.00". Maybe it was just in a bad mood or something...

I had same problem--but when I cleared the memory and restared the unit, it started to work normally. (However this also caused me to lose any data, routes, etc. that I had programmed into the unit.)

I am having the same intermittent problem but am worried that it will become permanent. Any information available to get the unit to acquire satellites would be great

Same here!  I just contacted to the supplier to see what they say, not sure if I'll get back, but rest assured your not the only one...
