Regarding loss of signal... there seem to  be 'GPS deadspots' on the earth's surface, where the alignment of  satellites never seems to deliver the right signal.  We have one here  in East Africa, the north-eastern corner of Lake Victoria (worlds largest inland  lake).  Each time I transition through this zone from Nairobi, Kenya, to  Entebbe, Uganda, in Europa 5Y-LRY, (as I did yesterday), the GPS signal is lost  for about 40 nm along track (often ALL bars!), then its back again 20 minutes  later along track.  Same place, any time of day (not sure about nighttime)  or day of week!  GPS is Garmin Pilot III.  Can anyone explain  that?

  

 Best to all, Richard
