Hi
My discovery 4 (2015) has just lost GPS signal without any warning or incidence. Any advice on quick cures please? x

Probably time for an update, but also new phone masts pushing 5G are creating a few problems on some receivers

Hard reset would be my first port of call, free and easy to do.

Basically battery leads off, join both leads together for a few seconds, reconnect leads to battery, job done.
The leads joined together discharges all the capacitors so when you reconnect the battery it has to do a fresh restart on every system, it sounds scary but it is not.

Fixes all sorts of weird errors, sunroof stuck open, radio/sat nav issues etc, just like your computer at home.
