+Team Cottengim Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I posted this in "The Hunt / The Unusual" but thought it might be better here. GPS Info - Magellan Gold w/ software ver. 4.02 While driving between Westwood, CA (N40.31 / W121.00) and Burney, CA (N40.88 / W121.67) this past Saturday (7-19), I lost ALL satellite signal. I was looking at the satellite/signal strength screen and it went completly blank except for the two concentric rings and the cardinal point letters (N-S-E-W). One moment I have 8+ satellites at full signal strength and the next everything satellite was gone. As I neared Burney, satellite started popping back in and as I arrived home, I once again had 8+ satellites at full signal strength. Has anyone else experience this phenomenon? Quote Link to comment
+nincehelser Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I've seen it from time to time on my Garmin units. I don't think it's the sats fault, though. More likely is is just your GPS unit resetting itself and re-aquiring the signals. Perhaps caused by a bug in the code, or maybe some it's a house-cleaning function in the units.
