I've had intermittent problems of the same nature with the 2 Garmin 250's I've had. Maybe once every 3 or 4 weeks it would show the message ‘Acquiring Satellites' for anywhere between 3 and 6 mins, then it would carry on as normal. Ordinarily it acquires after about 30 seconds.
Not much help I know...
