When was the last time you did an auto-update on your GPS unit? If you
use Garmin's auto-update it would have updated the firmware to a newer

That's the key!

I did update the GPS engine firmware in June, using the Webupdater in rerun mode, but still saw these problems, then as of early July I've seen it work.

I.e. afaik the problems seems to be at least somewhat unrelated to that firmware fix?

Since EGNOS became officially operational a week ago or so, it seems
like the 'tunnel problem' has been solved, i.e. my 76 CSx can now go
into along tunnel, lose lock, then reaquire when I get back out.

Have anyone else noticed this?
