Every time I start the car, my origin B2 takes ages, like 10minutes to lock to the satellites and by the time they've locked i'm at work.....anyone experienced/solved this one?
Thanks

Where is your GPS aerial located?

What car is it in - if you have a heated windscreen (Ford/Land Rover) or a UV filtering/Metallicised windscreen (e.g. Renault) this can seriously affect the reception.

In my Audi my Road Angel used to pick up in seconds, but now in my Range Rover it can take a LONG time to get a good signal...

You chould maybe look into an aerial extension to locate it somewhere else (under rear shelf for example) or if B2 don't do those, you could get a 'retransmitter' and the guys at www.blackspot.com sell those...
