Just an FYI. I saw multiple posts here about GPS signal droppage over the last few days.
I also got several support calls with the same issues. And they have not been isolated to any one brand or model.
So, I am concluding that there very well could be (or could have been recently) some anomaly NOT RELATED to your particular device in the last few days.
The two most common things that periodically cause this are environmental (weather and sun spot activity) or governmental (they own the satellites.)
For what it's worth. Just thought I'd mention it here because it has been more common than normal lately.

It's the Mayans. Their GPS messed up and they couldn't get here by December 21 last year.

Mine has been sporadically forgetting where it is but had more issues with the qc. Especially yesterday. -
FYI, GPS satellites occasionally have outages and its more frequent than you might realise. You can track outages at the following link http://adn.agi.com/SatelliteOutageCalendar/SOFCalendar.aspx
