    If the GPS icon is blinking it's not seeing the GPS satellites. Something is blocking the signal or the unit is bad.

    Try holding it out the window to see if it locks on. If it does you may need to reposition so it has a better view of the sky.

    when it blinks its not receiving a GPS signal, when its solid it is receiving a GPS signal, and will notify of RLC's.

    initially it takes less than 30sec to become solid. However placement in vehicle can block the signal.

    hmm weird, sometimes its solid sometimes its blinking, and i drive same routes and find it being random. Could a software upgrade improve it later?

    Is it announcing "GPS signal is lost"?
