I have the same problem in my 172 with an S3. Most of the time it won't even get the signal.
The windscreen in the 172/182 is a b*tch for this, my saving grace is that I use a PDA which means my GPS unit sits on the parcel shelf and gets full signal 
One thing worth doing is leaving the snooper out in the garden for an hour or so (only need to do this once), this way it will build a cache of all the satellites in view and will provide faster & better fixes.
Same thing goes for when you get in the car, make sure you have a good satellite fix before you move off, GPS doesn't like fixing onto satellites when you are moving.

sold mine due to these problems - I was going into Brecon once and although I was driving pretty quick it was no where near the 437mph the Road Angel was quoting!! lol - they really dont like our windscreens - Tom Toms are the same - have to stick it to the side window to get a signal and then it still aint brilliant

I would have to wait about an hour befre setting off lol to get a satalite fix as it just seems to take ages
Ahh, I thought it might have battery power. You should be able to find a suitable power adaptor I would have thought, does it use a "standard" power connector?
You only have to do the 1 hour thing once, the way that the gps system works means that the unit really needs to see all the satellites that are in view, once it has this information your satellite lock should improve for ever after!
