I usually have a strong signal 6-10 sat's depends on were I am...Is there any setting or anything I can download to help me aquire more satallites at a quicker time, not talking about an external antenna here...I also noticed a couple of things, I set the baramator to degrees instead on minutues I get more satalliets..I also noticed in the rain I get up to 11 satellites which is strange, and there are times in clear day where I only get 8...Im happy as long as the GPS gets me to where I want, which it does everytime but if theres a way to make the signal stronger I got no prob changing a couple of things around, and my appolgizes if this has been asked in the past...

Thanks

Chris
 
Downloading a quickgspfix on a regular basis is supposed to allow for the acquiring of the sat signal faster than not doing so; however, there are many that never download the file and are just fine.

But, file or not, the number of satellites is usually a condition of open location, etc.

I've never gotten to 11 that I'm aware of. Nine is about tops for me.
