Garmin 200

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

not sure that sounds like loosing your GPS signal which I have also had my garmin 200 do but it always does it along one section of an old railway route leading up to my home - not sure why but even in winter when there are no leaves around the GPS signal appears dodgy there.

I have however had my Garmin 200 crash on me (which is when it starts recording a new route) and I had to do a reset...
the other trick it had was to turn itself off when trying to upload a ride to either garminconnect or strava and clearing out all of the old rides and courses fixed that.

Did a 20 mile ride today and Garmin performed perfectly. Very pleased.

So I would like to know if anyone with the same Garmin model has experienced loss of GPS as well sometimes?

Only under bridges or in deep woodland. I can rarely get one outside my house too, need to cycle down the main road for it to pickup a signal.

The 200s work very well, and only sometimes does it take a bit to get a signal. It's usually switch on, get on bike and press start to get signal.

Just keep an eye on it. I have had one unit fail, it just wouldn't hold charge after 6 months.

Mine lost signal on the road from Abergele to Llandulas, going along the long stone wall there. Have you had this problem with yours there?

No problem with mine i,m most impressed that it still worked when in the house after a ride when i first had it.

Not there, but at the top, where the road narrows between the wall and the building, the signal went a bit there.

Of the GPS's I've had the 200 is the quickest too lock on and I cant ever recall the signal dropping out, except where I expect it too (in a deep underpass) and it locks back on fast.
