Title: My SatNav GID Display question.
Post by: zirk on 28 May 2014, 19:16:42
Been noticing this a lot lately when bombing around locally, happened again today when parked up outside the Post Office, Press Info, Northerly shows normal but Easterly just shows '000's, any thoughts?

Waltham abbey is ON the greenwich meridian .. so your sat nav is exactly correct ... when you are in a certain position ... I believe the meridian goes just west of the abbey itself

Looking here it seems to go halfway between the sun and the angel ..  :)

Bugger Entwood, was hoping to get a few more responses yet, like give it a good thump or try another Disk etc.  ;D ;D ;D

But yes your spot on.  :y

Hehehe, Entwood beat me to it ;D

We know the GPS receiver is working because N is working, plus you would have said if the location was inaccurate, so it could only be you are on the meridian :)
