Acquiring Satellites?
I live 15 miles from Boston. Until yesterday "Acquiring Satelites" always took less than a minute. In the past 24 hours my nuvi gets stuck on this screen and never becomes helpful with directions. Eventually a new screen says "Trouble finding satellites. Continue searching? yes/no". Nothing helps. What's going on?
