i installed Garmin XT 500.30 on my tube v11 2 days ago. i am using integrated GPS since its FREE.
but i have issues locking to the satelite. i already standing in an open area under the sky 10m away from tall buildings running the Garmin XT on my tube & set the remote gps to the nearby petrol station location i am standing. And my status bar is only 1 bar.
How do u guys lock your gps to the satelite?
by jus walking around to get 3-4 bar on the status bar?
or
by jus standing still and simply press to go to any destination and wait for the 'Awaiting Better GPS Accuracy' to load? but for my case,it mostly stops at 80% and i stand under the sun like a fool for 30min and sometimes yet,still havent finish loading
Sometimes i manage to lock on the satelite after 30min of waiting. but my position i standing is not the same as it appears on my gps. its difference by 30m. eg. i am standing beside the road,my gps shows tat i am standing at an opposite building which is 30m away from me. izit normal?
Then when i restart my hp, i need to repeat the whole process of long waiting to tried to lock onto the satelite again. izit normal also?
Any sifu can help me answer my questions since i am a noob in GPS stuff.

Do u enable A-GPS? It is very fast when A-GPS is enabled. I get 3 to 4 bar for the signal.
