GPS - loss of signal

[Hondaes8]

Hi all,

anyone experience loss of signal for the last 1-2 days ? i am experiencing this with my Garmin inside the car while driving. Out in the open area static, is ok. happen to both my Garmin 205 and Garmin 2465....

not sure if my set is faulty as i do not have this encounter before.

Pls advise.

Did u install any new solar film or car cam?

If the GPS system is down, I'm pretty sure you won't be the only person making noise.

You already said in the open static is ok. Must be your setup problem.

It could be tall buildings blocking the signal. Sgp a lot of high rise building. If you go places like Shenton way your GPS navigation will experience loss of signal.

I know with the Garmin cycling GPS's there can be lots of issues with certain units. Speak to Garmin and see what they say.

sumtimes solar flare can cause the loss.....

was thinking of that but i guess it would be consistent whether we are in tuas or changi.

Looks like some form of electrical interference.

 

Even buildings can cause GPS signals to be distorted - my GPS watch always display wrong values at certain areas in CBD (tall buildings)

U troubleshoot by switching off the car cam see if GPS signal is able to log on. If yes, then the only way is to shift your GPS to the right side near the door, especially of currently its placed below your car cam, or remove car cam or switch off car can if die die wants to use GPS. I got same issue before.

Sud b yr set.

 

If US block signal due to military ops ty dun cancel e signal completely. Ty just make it less accurate to maybe 100meters instead of 10meters.
