OK, glad it was simple... I had totally forgotten about that option as I
never changed mine from auto... Last night going home I tossed both the 195
and 196 on the dash... Away from the office, with it's over hang roof
blocking half the sky, on both units the EPE was 11 feet and the DOP was 1.0
to 1.1, about as good as it gets, even in the air...

I owe you a big THANK YOU!

That was it! I set the speed filter to "Auto" and it fixed the
problem. I guess I changed it inadvertantly at some time.

Thanks again.......

I have a Garmin 196 and just in the past week or so it is acting
strange. I get a signal just fine, but when I am standing still it
constanly changes headings. It never moves in a direction, just turns
in circles sporatically. Once I begin to move, it tracks just fine.
But as soon as I stop, it constantly changes headings again. Anyone
else experience this? I upgraded to the latest software, but that
didn't fix the problem.

Did you perhaps change the "speed filter" setting on
the setup/system page?
