Slow in gps lock recently

[silverbeauty]

any recommended free space needed in the GPS device?

Depending on which model GPS you have to do housekeeping .. delete the unnecessary .... POI, favourites, temp files, trip logs ... whether u like it or not, on some of the Nuvi it will collect trip logs ... delete the log file as it can get large ... etc ..

I know what's wrong....

The recent haze from a friendly neighbor is causing your problem... We know that burning wood produces ash and charcoal which is basically Carbon. With the westerly wind, fine particles of these Carbon particles fill the air around us and since, Carbon is a good conductor of electricity it will form a Faraday's shield across the sky. This will have dramatic effect on signals reception on wireless devices... So, your GPS may be struggling to decipher the long codes from the Satellites hence, delaying the signal lock....

If you believe what I wrote... please go back to school...

I think this teory should be considered...because since Vash H posted..i think i'm also facing the same problem while navigate using my Nuvi 255W...this happen twice to me while navigate on E2 hiway ,dont remember the date...but i think it was in " JERUBU " time...in that time i just feel that it might my 255W meet it ended story...after thats until now..the sattelite locked for my 255W having no problem until today...even i'm in da house...he he..just scared of my 255W going death...
