Lost Signal - Nuvi 350

 

I was on a trip last week from Atlanta, Ga to Columbus, Ohio driving on I-75 and used my wife's Nuvi 350 this time. I lost the signal for 25 to 50 miles at a time traveling in either direction. No matter what I did, it would not acquire Sat. signals until it was ready. Never had this problem with the 350 since we got it in 2006. Now, today, I had the same problem with my 760 driving to South Carolina. ???
Is anyone else in the S.East having this many signal problems..?

No problems with losing signals unless I go into a long or deep tunnel but it reconnects instantly as I get out.

However my 360 takes like 15-20 mins to connect on a mild to dark cloudy day.

About 5 mins on a clear or partly cloudy day.

is being discussed over at GPSpassion at http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=128479

Maybe we are starting to see the effects of some of the satellites used for GPS navigation starting to pass their useful life.
