Default Anyone else having GPS problems?

For the last week I've been having problems in that my Origin B2 unit has found it very difficult to get a satellite lock.

I know atmospheric conditions affect how easily the satellites are detected, but I don't think it's that bad now after last weeks storms - just wondering if it's just me getting this.

Funy this. I think there are some days when my b2 works fine, and others when it takes either ages to log on or loses it - it's like it's haning on by its finger tips to a signal, but cannot just get there - ie has logged on but no speed reading. The atmospheric conditions seem to be fairly similiar, but sometimes I wonder if its Origin making updates (as when I update I carefully look to see how many files are downloaded), and sometimes I think this has something to do with it.

I have actually no idea if this is the case, but my suspicious mind says this is sometimes the case. Do you find that sometimes when starting up and pulling away it will log on in seconds, others seems to take a good few minutes?

Yeah, but a few times in the last few days it's taken so long that the shutdown sequence has started...



I know that the update software has had a new release, maybe that'll fix it...
