GPS Speedo space time continuum error
I've got two GPS speedos, a few years old, that have both gone bung together.
The manufacturer says it is to do with the recent time reset on the GPS satellites that happens once every 20 years. https://www.straitstimes.com/world/g...t-happens-next The GPS chips will need to be changed. |

My 23 year old Garmin GPS195 just locked on my position.

Re: GPS Speedo space time continuum error
Is that why my Magellan GPS 2000 from the mid '90s doesn't lock on any more?

Re: GPS Speedo space time continuum error
In a four hour trip yesterday one of them locked on only for about 10 minutes. The rest of the time it spent searching. Same trip the other way a few days before and it locked on for about half of the trip only.

Re: GPS Speedo space time continuum error
My GPS has been silly lately (again). Only a couple of days ago it gave me 3 instructions without drawing a breath between them. Perform a U turn, turn left in 800 metres, turn right in 300 metres. I didn't know what to do till it struck me. Turn the @#$%^& thing off!
Every GPS we have ever oned has been given a female name. I wonder why!?!?!

Re: GPS Speedo space time continuum error
Updraught, Synchro, have you tried updating your units online?
I finally managed to get my Magellan to work by re-initializing it.

Re: GPS Speedo space time continuum error
Hmm, just came home to NYS from Florida this weekend with an old Garmin 40, no issues.

Re: GPS Speedo space time continuum error
My Garmin Nuvi is about 10 years old. It worked fine this past week end.

The guy at the post office had heard of the issue! Units were 3 and 4 years old. I have an old Garmin I'll have to check. I've never had much luck with map and compass, always get lost. |
