Count_dukulangsat Neutral Newbie March 1, 2007 Share March 1, 2007 Maybe a combination of the cloudy weather, and the Thermal Guard that I have on the car. Also did a soft reset on the phone, you know... Microsoft. Will monitor. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madsumm 1st Gear March 1, 2007 Share March 1, 2007 Yes.. weather does impact the performance of GPS. No matter where you are and how small SG is. GPS are Line-Of-Sight per say. Yeah. you cannot see the GPS but the signal looks for it as though its LOS. If its in a way blocked, the performance is impacted. Rgds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelpie 2nd Gear March 1, 2007 Share March 1, 2007 Given the case, all top of the range and budget GPS gadgets would have the same shortcomings. Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelpie 2nd Gear March 2, 2007 Share March 2, 2007 Does it makes sense to install external antenna to the GPS to alleviate the problem? Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madsumm 1st Gear March 2, 2007 Share March 2, 2007 It will help a bit, but I don't think so if its very over cast day. Depends and up to you if you want to spend on the external antennae and the installation costs. Rgds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianli Hypersonic March 2, 2007 Share March 2, 2007 My Tibo worked very well even in thunder storm at Cherating, Kuantan, Malaysia. No external antenna was used. Windscreen also had tiniting done. So far no problem at all. With 12 channels, the GPS only require 4 out of any 12 to fix ur position. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
