During my trip to USA Garmin nuvi 1200 was ok in the west coast but could not catch sattellites in Manhattan, New York center :confused:
Did anyone had the same experience and why was the problem?

Civilian GPS is not like in the Hollywood movies. Urban jungles (large cities), tunnels, mountain terrain all block and/or reflect the radio signals from the satellites that form the GPS constellation. Since civilian GPS units only use one frequency they will often fail to achieve a fix or give an inaccurate fix in these situations.
It is physics. There's nothing wrong with your 1200.
