Funny. I notice I have difficulty with picking up Satellite numbers 7 and 14, but at least I am still showing 14-16 feet in accuracy. There are times when 7 is either totally blank or totally not even showing up as a satellite I am to receive.
Just thought it was interesting.
TIme of day?
I guess it must have to do with the time of day as there isn't a 7 now. I am now watching 2 and I think it was 24 struggle. Oh well, it's still accurate.
It make sense that there would be different satellites out there that we get access to during the day and then those we get during the night

That is correct....because satellites do what?? They orbit the earth. All satellites would not be in view at all times of the day.

From Dale DePriest's tutorial:
The satellites are traveling around the world 11,000 nautical miles high in carefully controlled orbits at a speed that means they will make a complete orbit twice a day. Each orbit takes 11 hours and 58 minutes, so like the stars they will seem to drift 4 minutes a day.

Can not see them any more.
Well now that I have 760, you no longer get that screen. I wish that they would update this..
