I have had a few occasions when my Wing X program has a “No GPS” for a fairly extended period and per Murphy’s law at a “not the best time”. The most recent example was Monday May 20 mid afternoon PDT. It has been suggested that the outage was possibly due to the recent solar activity and the reported increased Northern Lights that were in the news.

I was traveling by car and hiking north of Medford OR at the time so had not checked the RAIM.

I wonder if others had noticed GPS issues during this latest period of solar activity or at other times.
