Inaccuracy in Fullerton area

Postby psionix » Mon Oct 03, 2011 8:00 pm

Dear all,

Just wanna check if you guys have the same issue as me.

Whenever I am around Rafflescity, Chijmes, Fullerton area, my Garmin will become very inaccurate.

My car icon will spin round and round and my location will keep jumping about, sometimes to adjacent roads, sometimes in the water and sometimes on top of buildings.

Does this happen to anyone else as well or its my unit faulty?

Garmin Nuvi 1370
GPS is placed near the top of car windscreen.

Looks like a case of weak satellite signals. Do you have heat film line sun-x on your windscreen? This will attenuate the satellite radio signals and in urban areas with many tall buildings, such as your case in CBD area, will even cause a drastic reduction in signals

Thanks for the reply SB. I think I will try relocating my unit to a lower position.

Right now its at the Sunshade area (top part of the windscreen) And yes I do have solarfilm as well.

Suggest you find an ideal location and cut a small square slot for satellite signal to get to your Nuvi :-'
