Hi, It's about a Navigo 3.5" Version 3 Sat Nav.
I read that when new it can take 10 minutes to find any satellites. However this one has the same problem every time it is started for a new journey. It has to be switched off at the end of a journey since it's battery doesn't last long without power input and the car cigarette lighter does not supply power when the engine is off.

Is it normal to have it waiting for satellite reception for at least 5-10 minutes every time it is started?

I've tried reconfiguring it sometimes and it still says, bad satellite reception are you indoors etc. this has happened in several locations. The thing is that up to the point the car was parked it was giving directions happily with several satellites found. It seems to be a start up problem.
