GPS 1st Gen, coordinates sometimes don't show

[DOANRM]

Hello all, I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue. Occasionally when I have the heli on the bench and the info from the GPS is streaming in I see a satellite lock with 9 acquired or more, but the latitude and longitude are blank. Other times it appears normally. It appears to happen at random. I am operating the 4.08b software and the GPS firmware is at 1.08. I had a successful compass swing. I have not done any inflight testing yet, my next step.

There is new firmware on the way early next week.

=] Yes this can show up when the GPS is home alone! I get around three or four blanks in a half hour period.....

Thanks for the feedback. My gut feeling is that this is a software issue and not firmware or configuration issue.
