GPS in the uk.

I’ve taken the GPS outside in the UK a couple of times and so far I’ve not been as impressed as I was with it in the US. The coverage of satellite GPS in the UK is a LOT worse than in the states. I was getting 6 satellites in the US, so far I’ve only had 2 over here, and none of the bars in the satellite screen have gone black (which it should). So far I’ve not been able to get better than a 2d fix. The really annoying thing is that when I get to my home town the unit warns me that I’ve got bad GPS coverage. All of the above have been whilst in the car so I may get better coverage outside it, but the unit was used primarily in the car whilst in the states for navigating (see next entry) unless I was actually looking for a geocache.
