Does the weather affect NAVIGATION reception?
Does the weather affect NAVIGATION reception?
My navigation has been working perfectly, however today it wouldn't pick up more than one satellite. It was very cloudy outside. After driving for about 15 minutes, it slowly began picking up more satellites but still didn't acquire as many as it usually does. My question is...does the weather (clouds) affect the antenna's ability to read the satellites? If not, does anything else affect it?
