Regarding loss of signal... there seem to be 'GPS deadspots' on the
earth's surface, where the alignment of satellites never seems to
deliver the right signal. We have one here in East Africa, the
north-eastern corner of Lake Victoria (worlds largest inland lake).
Each time I transition through this zone from Nairobi, Kenya, to
Entebbe, Uganda, in Europa 5Y-LRY, (as I did yesterday), the GPS signal
is lost for about 40 nm along track (often ALL bars!), then its back
again 20 minutes later along track. Same place, any time of day (not
sure about nighttime) or day of week! GPS is Garmin Pilot III. Can
anyone explain that?
Best to all, Richard
