If your GPS unit has a satellite status page, which
most do, check to see if it is receiving data from
satellite #51 on the east coast and/or satellite #48
on the west coast.



The satellites are not in geosynchronous orbit.



Duh! Everybody knows that GPS satellites are in an orbit that takes
48 hours to orbit instead of 24.





I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.
