Hi, I am running my SD mobile on my Nats Air Aware device. Took a while to get the com and baud settings to save, but kept trying and eventually ran well.

After 1 hour flight today I received a warning that device had stopped loggin, this was due to not having a satellite fix. The device was visible to 12 satellites but couldn't fix. I turned the device off and on twice, but to no avail. I then inserted the airaware sd card and restarted - it got satellite fix straight away and remained good for the rest of the day.

One good reason and reminder to have a chart with track lines prepared and to hand and to know where you are on it.

I have restarted SD Mobile tonight when got home and it got satellite fix ok.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Gavin

Glad to report have used several times since reporting the loss of precise fix and have not had any further problems
