View Full Version : GPS signal jamming trial
I have been told by an amateur aviation friend why the Tomtom had an intermittent signal, there have been jamming trials from an aircraft flying over Kirkwall since earlier this month and its effect went down to Birmingham, it should finish in two days. Has anyone else had this problem because I thought the tomtom was faulty or the weather was having an effect.

Not a Flicker and my Tom-Tom is working perfectly no problems at all. :D
It's a bit tough if you are just having a casual float about in yer boat. It's not likely you will come across this warning is it?

I heard they're changing all the GPS satellites over to relaying Sky Cartoon Channel.....
