Weird GPS problem

Steveo · 09-22-2014, 08:04 AM

Well I hope this very astute forum can help me with my weird GPS problem. I have a Standard Horizon Chart 155C GPS. It came with the boat I bought last year so I assume same age as boat at 8 years old. Last year the GPS worked fine. When turned on it would typically pick up satellites within a minute regardless of the weather. This year has been totally different. If it is totally sunny out it takes a very long time, usually never to pick up the satellites. If it is partly sunny I can usually pick them up after several minutes. If it is completely cloudy out I pick them up as soon as I turn it on.

Tell me that ain't weird. Can anyone help with an answer.
