    I do but it had worked fine before. As I said in another post I even took it out in the middle of a 320 acre field and it still only got 4/12. Shut it off 48 hrs put it back exactly where it was before and it works fine....Summer solstice??????

    Hard to say... I do know that in my office I used to pick up satellites with no issues now in the same spot it has issues getting a GPS signal. Outside - is fine. This happened about a month or so ago.

    Thanks,

    Were you in the same location after those 48hrs? And what was the environment around the device and the truck?

    You were using it in your kitchen? Or did you take it out of the truck and put it back in the truck and was the truck parked in the same place. See if the GPS can't "see" the satellites, it can't receive the signals. So just trying to figure out if you were just suffering from line of sight issues. Not aware of any GPS constellation system issues or adverse space weather conditions that might have affected it. I have both of mine in the middle of the dash on the windshield. No issues unless I run through areas with overhead cover- trees, buildings etc.

    There's a good tip of what not to do without guidance.
