I have a Holux GM210 wired receiver, which has worked very well for about a year. I didn't use it for about a week, and it took about 5 minutes to get a fix. When it eventually showed my position, there were 6 satellites in view, and it worked perfectly from then on. Usually cold starts are much quicker than this, but just occasionally I have to wait an age for it to lock on. Do GPS receivers "go off" after a while? Do others have the same problem?
Robin

PS I stayed still while I was waiting for a fix - I know that moving off delays things considerably

It depends not just on your receiver but alos on the satellite constellation in the sky. Sometimes you're just out of luck and have to wait until they form a better formation. (doesn't help you if they are all in a row, for example.)

Your receiver is behaving normally.
