Moving Nuvi 1210 long distances

[david_uk]

Hi,

I'm going to the US in the summer, and taking the trusty Nuvi 1210. I have taken it abroad before, and know it takes a long time to find where it is when you turn it on. Up to 20 minutes or more.

Is there any way to speed this up by telling it where it is, or any other tricks?

Thanks

Two tips:

First, use simulation mode to set your nuvi to where you are going to switch it on.

Second, keep it still with a clear view of the sky when you first switch it on at the new location.

Both will help to reduce the time it takes to acquire satellites.
