Dan,

I spoke with Garmin today and got the same reply today. I followed the
procedure to reset the almanac and it took maybe 20 minutes to
complete.


I flew today with the newly rebuilt almanac and had no loss of sat.
lock in 2 hours of flying. The GPS page showed much better reception
then before. The almanac rebuild looks like it has had a positive
effect on GPS performance.
