How much does it cost to update the maps? Mine has reminded me to update three times since we bought it (it does it once a year). I just do a hard reset and it's fine.

A ten-minute lock on happens when the device has been switched off for a while or you've moved a fair distance since it was last on. The gazeteer (the database telling the unit where all the satellites should be) isn't up-to-date so it has to grab a new copy.

It'll also take ages to lock on if you're moving while it's tryng to pin down a position.
