Definitely want to get a copy of the logs for both planes (ptlevine and NZFlyer).   With the new GPS logs in 10.1, it should tell us exactly what happened.

The GPS logs will be big but those are the most important ones followed in importance by the Event log.

Today I also had a GPS outage for about 20 seconds on my IFD 540. The G430 did not lose its position.
I'm running 10.1.

Yes we'd like to see those logs please. Especially need the GPS logs which will be big.

I had one brief GPS outage last week during a flight back from Wichita to NY. The outage lasted about 20 seconds or so. However, it occurred when I was smack in the middle of an MOA over an AFB. So, it is possible that it was related. However, my 430 didn't lose its location. I can download my logs and send them in too next time I am at the plane.

Maybe.  Logs will tell us.  Standing by until we get them.

Hate to post this, but it's true... 

Once briefly on flight from Shop to home (after 10.1 upgrade).   Once on the way back from OSH, yesterday.  Lasted about 3-4 minutes, maybe?  Both times on the #1 unit.  (Which has a slightly older S/N, I think)?  I'd have to verify that.  

This needs to be looked into.  I'll pull the logs tomorrow.   Is there some HW fix, that that box needs?
