I had not used two Magellan GPS units for
a few months until last week. I have had great difficulty getting them
to give readings here at Nundah in Brisbane. They will usually find one
or two satellites but not lock in to a position. Both have new batteries
and have been recalibrated. There are no obvious obstacles in the way -
trees, buildings etc. A friend at St Lucia is also having problems.
Are others having problems too? Is George
Dubya to blame?
George Dubya can be blamed for many things!!! ... but probably not this one.
I believe they've agreed not to fiddle with GPS signals despite the war.
I've just been out on a job, used my Garmin eTrek Legend GPS, and got a quick
fix on about 8 satellites. That was in northern Melbourne.
