How long is it takes for 66LM to find satelite?

The 66LM is way faster than previous models of Garmin GPS's I have owned in the past. When outside it takes only a few seconds. When in a parking garage it takes longer.

I crank up the car, turn on the GPS, and by the time I finish hooking up the seatbelt, it is ready to go.

I've only had mine for two days but I was blown away by just how fast it found satelites.....I replaced a 4.3 inch Garmin and it was fairly quick also.....the 5 inch in my Camry is very quick.I live in Southern Oregon, down in the Rogue River Valley, surrounded by mountains but the Valley is quite large. If I go out into the 'woods' and get behind a mountain then chances are I will lose the connection.

Sorry I don't know. I had an issue with mine not acquiring satellites. I had to return it for another one.

I have had it take a little while, but this is really going to vary based on your location in relation to the satellite signal. I notice if I stand still with my arm up like I am looking at the time it works much faster. If you are tying your shoes and what not while it locks in, it's going to take longer.

Hi,my nuvi 1300 has not recieved any satalite reception in the last 4days.I've turn it off/on many times a day. I don't know what to do. One web site said to do a hard reset. A couple times it said I'm due for map update. Should your nuv1300 still operate with out a update? Can't afford right now . I bought it at cash America pawn shop.unit malfunction started 10 days after 30 day return.

Correct, but remember, the "place" is entered as a latitude and longitude in decimal format. Not a big deal if you observe from only one or two places, but a great help if you get around. No need to look up the latitude and longitude or keep a list of them. Just start an alignment, wait a bit for the device to read the satellites signal, then align as usual. I like mine and recommend it.

It depends. The system is not as responsive as I expected. It usually takes 8-12 minutes until a notification arrives - and that location is already some minutes old. So if you have a fast traveling pet, good luck. You are dealing with outdated info.The map on the android is not accurate either. Plus, even if you try to locate your pet within the home zone, the map on the mobile device is useless, because it shows the tagg being at the center of the home zone.

Yes it is - turn on and it finds the proper satelite within a few minutes. This does not work while driving, parked only. I installed as a replacement on my coach in under 1 hour.

I don't see why not. My only complaint is that it takes a 30-60 seconds sometimes to find a satalite after the car has been sitting. I received nothing this morning, couldnt even turn it off after 15min of driving. Had to turn the car off at an intersection and it booted back up. Good luck...

They should come up automatically when the device searches for satellite. My works all over Europe except certain Balkan states like Bosnia that are not available.

I have never used a satellite finder with my system (Rm-dm 46 With elevation sensor). The elevation sensor is accurate. I use a compass to set the indicator to as close to North as possible and then rotate the dish back and forth a few degrees until I get a signal. This satellite dish performs great and as advertised, but you cannot get hd with Direct Tv with this dish. Hope this helps.

The GPS in my opinion was ok at best, albeit very slow to see the satelites. My primary complaint was that the screen washed out in the sun and you couldn't see it.

NO, the watch has a in-built GPS, just push the button to torn-on it and wait 1 or 2 minutes during satellite searching ...

Yes, MGRS as well as UTM and lat long. Most will come from the factory on lay long so you have to go into the settings to change it. Takes about 25 seconds...

Yes I have same situation. You can take box to camper it will go thru locating signal and program guide. I had to use a cheap signal meter to set dish up at camper. Also a little tip cover the 2 outside lnb's with foil while finding SATs. Google pointing this dish. Lot's of info..

I can't answer the refresh rate--I usually have mine set to record about every 30 seconds. I do know it can record more often than that, but I don't know how often. Regarding accuracy, that depends a lot on how unobscured the sky is. When there are no obstructions in the way and several satellites within view, I have found the unit to give locations within 30-100 feet.

Yes. You just have to blind scan. If you are not picking up anything, your dish is not aimed correctly. Sateliteguys is best place for these technical questions
