Default GPS Out of service??

are they using different antenna?
did you notice a power problem in the glider?

Maybe you flew through and area of GPS Jamming.
Different Jamming techniques will do different things, from totally denying
reception of GPS signals.. to tweaking the reception to make you think you
are going one way.. when the GPS is actually taking you off track

On my last two flights at Marfa Texas May 24 and May 10 I have lost
GPS navagation fixes for a few minutes on both flights. *I have two
GPS receivers (cambridge GPS/Nav and a lx-7000) both units lost their
fix at the same time and came back together. *Both flights are up on
the OLC if you want details. *Anyone else have the same experience?
Is it anything I can fix?

The two units have seprate antennas. The atmospheric pressure trace
was not effected. The units kept working (displays were on just no
nav info). I think the power was OK.
