This REALLY frustrated me when I first got my Garmin. Now, when I fly to the city in which I will rent my car, I boot up the Garmin as soon as I get there. I keep it plugged in and next to a window in my hotel room. I learned that once you find the signal, even if the unit subsequently is turned off or loses a signal, it is easier to locate it again. At least that was my experience.
