The Columbus should find out where it is quite quickly after start up.

Once my Columbus has started up from cold it already knows where it is.

I suspect that because you were indoors it was rather slow.

I initially had a problem with it losing track which seemed to be down to either location in the car or a poor contact on the plug.

Try unplugging it or wiggling it around a bit.
