When I turn my 305 on now the acquiring satellites screed is different showing no sateillites, it started doing this intermittently but now all the time.

I have the same problem.

Same problem with my unit. Recently it has not been "seeing" any satellites when the unit is powered on. The screen just says "acquiring satellites" but never does. Sometimes a quick power down and restart will bring the satellites up, and sometimes after a while the satellites will magically appear, but other times it will not lock on, see, or acquire any satellites which means no speed, no distance, and no tracking information from my rides :-(

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...
