Hello fellow members
After many months of suffering satellite signal loss usually just when you need it most on 2 sat navs the xgoody & another Chinese model i decided to buy a tomtom model 629 go supreme thinking it would eliminate the loss of satellite signal WRONG! The 1st day i used it to go to Coventry/Leamington Spa areas & it was great for the 1st 40 miles of the trip then bang a signal loss for the next 30 miles & despite rebooting it a few times it was like that until about 25 miles from my 1st destination.
Can anybody shed any light on this please?
Very likely to be caused by something in/on the vehicle - such as a tracker or other device that is frequently transmitting. We had a couple of vehicles on our fleet of identical Dafs that did this to some Satnavs (including mine). A few minutes work rerouting/relocating coiled cables behind the dash and all was fine.
Another potential source of RF interference is the driver circuitry in cheap LED bulbs.

Thanks for your reply, no tracker in the vehicle & as far as i am aware all the bulbs are genuine manufacturer parts but i will double check.
