    Well I did a fresh reboot this morning and it took 3 1/2 minutes to get a lock and bounced between 4-9 satellites being locked so that isn't too bad.. Maybe it is hibernation that is the issue but I have been using devcon...

    I'll see what happens on the way home from work (coming out of hibernation).

    I was about to buy a BU-353 but then read your post saying you have the same problem with a BU-353...
    That's approximately where I have it, now your windshield could be causing interference. The best way to check that is to put the receiver outside your vehicle to see if that improves lock-on time.

    There's also the possibility that you're in a spot with bad satellite coverage. I don't believe those satellites are geosynchronous, so there is the possibility that's the case.
