Hi all,

Problem with the GPS on my Orbit 2! Though so far I love it to bits really.
I have done a search here but cant find anything.. I really hope it is just me asking the wrong question. Anyway someone must know something.

The problem is this:
The GPS with Copilot was working amazingly when I first got it. I was knocked out by it.
I haven't used it much but when I have I was delighted.
However, recently I have been noticing that the number of satellite signals has been going down. It has also been taking longer and longer to get a fix.
Today I could not use it at all, even when it got a "fix" It was showing me no where near the right road.!! Have some satellites fallen out of the sky!!??

Currently it has 3 days before I need to do the QuickGPS thing. So that should be ok.. I will try again with the update but is there any known problem with the GPS. If there are problems with GPS do they normally behave like that or just stop altogether?
If there is a problem I guess I need to send it back.. :-(

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.
Its very painful when you get up in the morning and try to depend on something that is not working!

I also got the same problem, but I found out that a reboot solved the issue. After the reboot it found the satellites again.
