Christopher Columbus Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 So when will it be operational? And does anyone know what the Garmin Sat. # is going to be when I look at my 60CSx screen? Quote Link to comment
ossumguywill Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 So when will it be operational? And does anyone know what the Garmin Sat. # is going to be when I look at my 60CSx screen? I think 31. Quote Link to comment
+Jim W Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 I thank it will be operational sometime in Dec. it is replacing Garmin Sat # 5, but I don't know what number they will give it, Garmin Sat # 5 will go into standby mode Quote Link to comment
+EraSeek Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 So when will it be operational? And does anyone know what the Garmin Sat. # is going to be when I look at my 60CSx screen? I think 31. The first was 17, the second was 31, so 31 is already taken. Quote Link to comment

Christopher Columbus Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 This one will be number 12. ftp://tycho.usno.navy.mil/pub/gps/gpsb2.txt Ahhhh.....number 12. I will keep an eye out for this one. Thanks. Here's another question for the "think tank" crew. Why does my Garmin 60CSx show sat. #47 from time to time. I don't see a #47 PRN on the list? Am I picking up an alien transmission? Quote Link to comment
