Question handheld GPS in cabin
For the first time in years I took my trusty Garmin GPS III along inside the jet I fly. Sadly, it would not receive any satelites, only barely holding it against a side window, but none at all under the front windows. I´ve turned it on when flying as a passenger and have had no problems before...holding it beside the cabin window...
What do cockpit windows have that prevent these GPS signals to go thru??? Anyone know?

GPS
I did get my Garmin E Trex to work OK in a GNER train some time ago but the windows are way bigger than any in a aircraft cockpit or passenger cabin. I have a car with a metallised windscreen, to prevent heat build up, and I need an xtn aerial to get my GPS to work in that
