Hi Vanpham,

Thankyou for your feedback.

It is possible the AXIOM is mounted in such a location that the GPS reception is affected. How is it mounted? For example in a dash panel? inside a wheelhouse? If the dash panel is metal, or there is a wet card compass nearby it can affect GPS performance, moving the display 100mm can make all the difference to reception.

You can check the quality of the GPS reception in the GPS reception screen, press the screen top left over the LAT/LONG next to the globe and this will reveal an option SETTINGS, select SETTINGS and this will show a circular map of the location in the sky of the satellites and will indicate the quality of the fix as well as how many satellites are in view.

It sounds possible that the Built-in GPS inside the AXIOM is being shielded from some of the sky and so could not calculate a fix from the satellites it could see. So either there is something close to the AXIOM shielding it, which could be moved, or an external RS150 GPS antenna could be fitted.
