Jeff:

I fly a Legacy, so I might have expected not to have this "view of the
sky" problem, but I did have the kind of situation you describe when I
was first flying.  Once I moved my GPS antennas to the wingtip, the
problem went away and has not recurred in 200 hours of flying the
airplane.

***I'll be flying along and will get a "GPS Failure" announcement with
loss of terrain info, plus DR (dead reakoning) counter.  After 1 or 2
minues, the HITS boxes leave (as expected).  Then in three to five
minutes the GPS signal is restored, and all is well.***
