It seems that Lilliput screens are interferring the GPS signal. Try to change the refreshrate. 85Hz seems to kill the signal for GPS. but lower is beter.
To test if your lilliput is the problem, then turn on your pc/lilliput when you already have signal (the led is blinking). When you loose signal (led not blinking) cut the power to the lilliput. Perhaps you can see the signal come back within 1 second!
I had this problem. Turning off the lilliput gave my my signal back in a heartbeat. I seemed to have the problem with 60hz too, but 75hz was just fine. Most of the time 60hz will eliminate the problem.
If lowering the refreshrate wont help there are other solutions.
- Try to keep your gpsunit as far away from the screen as you can (put the gps unit in the back of your car, thats what i did and helped).
- You can also use aluminiumfoil behind the screen. that also worked for my but it wasnt a nice solution (if screen is build in i would suggest it to anyone in any case!
- Use aluminium foil under your gps unit to get better signal. The foil will reflect the signal, you will notice a better signal
- Take your time to get a good place! Always turn on the alert for "No signal", so you will here if the signal falls away. If you havent heared that alert in a long time its at a good place, if you hear it at places where you think you should have lock then try other places.
- It seems that an USB extension cable can result in bad lock either. I havent tested this good, but i have changed my setup a bit, and added an extension to my gps unit and the lock falls away very often now (for 2 days not, but the unit is still in the same place). So i suggest its the extension cable. Extension cables seems to kill the available power.
Hope to hear you have found your problem and get a good lock in your car
