GPS Black Spot

[Guest]

Does anyone else here, find there GPS goes on the blink in the Alderney Race and around Cap de la Hague?

Even more strange it always seems to black out when returning from Gurnsey to Cherborg, but not so often when going the other way!

Something funny is coming out of that power station!

Never had a problem in that area with GPS, in the last 3 years that is with 3 different sets on 2 different boats.

No problems for me either. Has your GPS antenna got a clear field of view? For example do you have your outboard parked on the stern rail next to the antenna when you are making this trip? Its got to be caused by something like that.

Nope, no problems at all during the many trips through the Race. Might be where and how your aerial is sighted.
