Well, if no other reason occurs to you, it's true that moisture in the
sky above you (specifically between you and the satellites) absorbs
satellite signals. This is why you loose contact sometimes when you go
into a heavily forested area, it's actually all the moisture in the tree
canopy that's the problem.

Hi guys!It is about as dark as it is at twilight out right now with a
steady cold clamby rain coming straight down, enough to soak through the
most waterproof of clothes. So why am I telling you this? Because of the
totally incomprehensible thing which happened with the Delorme.
I took my dog for a short walk as it hadn't actually begun to rain until
we were into our walk. I turned on the Delorme and set off and was out
about 20 minutes. Not once did the receiver hoan into a signal, not
once. It was working and we heard the sound of it trying to obtain a
satellite signal but I never picked any signals up.
Is something like that possible? I thought those satellites were all
over the world.
I have only encountered something like this one other time with theAtlas
Speaks gps 3 years ago.
Very strange, this.
Just wanted you all to know about this mystery.
