"Locating satellites"?!@#*

I LOVE my Garmin Forerunner 205. For all of my non-running friends, the Forerunner 205 is a GPS wristwatch that runners wear to get all kinds of data while we're running. My favorite stats are pace, time, and distance traveled. I can also store mapped routes in my Garmin. As someone who has gotten lost running in my own neighborhood, I'm surprised I have not used this feature. :)

I just love gadgets and numbers. My Garmin satisfies those two loves. I wear my Garmin on every run. In my opinion there is no point in running without knowing how fast I'm running, how far I'm running, or how long I'm running. ;)

So imagine my frustration today when I headed out for a quick 4 miler and it took my Garmin over a mile to locate the satellites. Argh!
