Map, watch & compass...? :D :D


Otherwise how about a longer aerial cable & suction cup the aerial to the rear window?

It is known that certain nav/comm frequencies will "block" the ery low power signal for a gps. Keep a log of when and where you experience signal loss and then see if a pattern emerges. I have found certain "black spots" but these turned out to be as stated above. After that dicuss this with Skyforce which is the most helpful company around
