I rarely cache when I travel on business, however on this trip to Seoul, Korea, I decided to make time. So I fire up the Garmin GPSMap 60 but it's not locking in on the satellites, even after 20 minutes.
Anyone have any suggestions?

hmmm, these are only suggestions but I had too do this with my old eTrex. Change the time zone and tell the GPSr to research for satellites as you have travelled more than 200 miles since you last turned it on. I'm thinking the time zone must tell the unit which satellites it should be looking for at the time and those satellite may be "over the horizon" for where you are for the time zone in the GPSr.

Did you try setting the point manually using the map. Also, be patient, it may take a while.

Thanks to both cachers who offered their well informed opinions on how to help out Paul. As I have learned, there is no black and white on this site, no judge to tell me to sit down and shut up and only my sense of fair play to tell me it was me or another cacher that crossed the line, so with that thought I hope my gps's know where I am the next time I fire one up!
Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.
When I turned my unit on after traveling from ME to BC it seemed to take forever but it did eventually lock in. Coming home I turned it on in the plane and it seemed to do fine when we got home.
I would wonder about the time zones too.
