Sadly no, it's an old system. I can't even see how many satellites it's found.

But today it's working again so I'm assuming the aerial is a bit "iffy" - ordered a spare one (less than a tenner) which has just arrived, so next time I'll swap it - if it ever happens again.

I've seen many odd messages from GPS systems, but never one that put me over 5,000 miles away!
