Out of curiousity to the people that are saying that their
gps is now locking. Mine has been sitting outside on the
roof of my car under the open sky for the last hour without
locking at all. I constantly get the A1 and have never seen
the A3 to indicate that my gps has locked. Any suggestions
greatly appreciated.
