I'm wondering if anyone has had GPS problems the last couple days.
Mine started yesterday morning (9/11), and have continued into today.
The problem?
No GPS signal.
Funny thing is, it is pretty consistent between my RM510 and my Qualcom GPS.
Either they both have a signal, or both don't.
And when the QC does not have a signal the HOS e-logs don't work correctly, since it doesn't know where you are.
I've had to go to paper logs today because the QC thinks there is a sensor failure, on and off for most of the day.
GPS problems?

Can't expect a GPS to be right all the time, especially if you have not updated the maps.
I have run into similar problems, but I believe it is because I have not paid the extra cash to update the maps after 2 years.
All in all, it does a pretty good job.
I just have to be smarter than it is.
The signal loss is an entirely different matter, which is what this topic is about.
I have never experienced a signal loss, except while going through a tunnel.
And now both my RM and QC are experiencing signal loss while in the open.
So, why?
And I ask again, has anyone else had this problem in the past couple days? -
I did a couple of days ago, signal bouncing in and out. Even the other day I was at a shipper and was told that I could not get my next route because it said that I was not on a truck route.

It's interstellar interference, due to the recent departure of Voyager 1 from the solar system.
-
I just got concerned because my problems started 9/11.
Maybe the system is being updated, and it only effects certain areas at certain times.
I didn't have any problems a couple weeks back, it has only been the past two days.
I'll see how it goes tomorrow. -
I thought of that (well, similar) as well, but there haven't been any solar eruptions that would have caused it. -
I have been having trouble with mine for a couple weeks, it freezes up often, loses signal quite often even in areas I always had signal before and sometimes it will throw me "off road" when im clearly on the interstate...
it was doing it in the other truck and did it a couple times yesterday in the new truck -
Get out of Iowa, lol!
That place has dead spots all over where nothing works.
