I'm finding that it's quite difficult to acquire 3 satellites when walking the streets in Brussels. I suspect all the concrete buildings and narrow streets are the hinderance. Is there an alternative chip that can handle this environment?

It appears that MTK may be outperforming sirf, at least in comparative Garmin models. Faster and more tenaceous lock reported by many users who are familiar with performance of both chipsets.
