    In a word, Nope.

    I run a Garmin 75. Slow, klunky but BIG screen
    and a whole pad full of BIG keys. Tracks 8 sats
    and acquisition time is approx 90 seconds. NMEA both
    ways, etc. Anyway, was expecting it.

    I'd been through the reacquisition once before when
    the unit was left idle for a long period of time and
    when this happens, it usually is a matter of about 20-30
    minutes while it "re-adjusts" itself.
    Did that yesterday morning while doing chores and sure
    enough...nada.

    DL'ed the software from Garmin a couple days ago
    and will update when time allows.
