Strange that. I have just got in from flying our Europa over to France
today and the Skymap 1 was working just fine.
We flew it last Monday week, a couple of days after the rollover week
and it did take about 20 minutes to 'find itself' just displaying 'no
fix possible' for that time, but eventually it sorted itself out and has
been fine ever since.
