GPS Signal Issue

Hey Guys,

 

I was wondering if anyone had any insight to help me out.

 

I have the F90BT and all of a sudden it is not getting any GPS signal. Yesterday it said GPS Signal lost on me, came back on shortly after, then said GPS Signal lost again. It hasn't been back since, I just get the grey arrow on the map. When I go into the GPS status screen, I just have red dots on the map, no bars, no signal information.

 

I took the entire unit out, checked the GPS connection. It was fine, at this point I am clueless. I installed the unit about 6-7 months ago, and haven't touched it since. All of a sudden the GPS just stopped working.

 

Anyone have any ideas or things I could try

sound like a broken antenna (to me!)

I supposed thats what it could be, are the antennas covered by the units 2 year warranty?

Happened twice to me. First time I reset factory settings on the Navigation settings screen and it worked fine. Second time was this morning on the way to work - I haven't tried anything to fix it yet though.

That happened on my F700 when I had the GPS mounted on the driver side. I took the time one day to move the antennae back to the trunk and I haven't had a problem with it since.

Where do you have it mounted?
