How embarrassing... I completely missed the part about QuickGPS! My mistake

I would try getting locks in open areas and see if you can get them quickly. It may just be one of those things that can't really be fixed. It SEEMS the TP2 chip is stronger than my TP1 or Mogul, but this relies on how you use it.

I would check to make sure the GPS chip works in normal conditions, though. If you can confirm that, you should be able to narrow down why it doesn't work sometimes.
