Re: GPS Switches on and off repeatedly.

I've tried everything I can think of to fix this. The only answer I've found for this is to run Google Maps with GPS turned on in that program, then minimize it and start one of my navigation programs. This makes it about 30% better, but it still momentarily looses lock.

Yesterday we were on the interstate doing about 80mph and it lost lock three or four times while we were at that speed. It seems more annoying that it once was... probably because I started using iGo. That program is very sensitive to momentary loss of satellite lock. Might switch back to Garmin just to not have that problem anymore. Garmin can loose lock for a second or two and not miss a beat. The iGo software alerts "Lost satellite reception" and hangs for about 5 seconds every time it happens... very annoying!
