It's the system. I had to restart mine this morning to get it to go.. Not sure what is going on

Been some reported aurora activity lately. Might have something to do with it.

From what I've read the yanks control most of the GPS satellites and they turn them off for a short while at times, something to do wirh security, apparently
I had to restart mine once on Sunday morning
