Garmin Antenna placement

[jimmuse]

I have been having issues with my 496 not acquiring sats on start, as well.

I found, quite by accident, if I select "stored without batteries" at startup, it pops right up.

Since it also has happened in flight while running, I restarted (power off and on), and selected as above and it just kept on truckin'. That must force some kind of deeper restart.

I am intrigued by the interfering frequency possibility...

Thanks,
