Are some GPS receivers configured to a specific set of satellites and other GPS modules configured to another set of satellites, or does any GPS unit run off of any satellite?
Wifes Fords Navigation map works around here but goes out on the way to work 30 miles away. A "no GPS" symbol appears on the screen even when the map displays correctly with in 5 miles of home.
Ford sent a notice mapping needs to be updated ($149) That's why I asked about about whether or not GPS navigation software is configured to a specific set of satellites or not.
