Yes, I guess so. At 29.9N the majority of the sats is still in the southern sky of course. The further you are from the equator, the more critical it gets. Note that, in theory, you only need 1 sat for timing, once the receiver knows its position. In case things get critical at the 43.4N location you can try switching the garmin to stationary mode. Haven't tried that though. regards, Jan _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
