Alert: GNS 530W Database Upgrade - "No GPS Position" Fix

[maduro]

Just upgraded my GNS 430W & 530W Nav database upgrade with the Garmin Database Manager. I upgraded both the data cards, the upgrade for the 430W was fine. The 530W on the other hand gave the error "No GPS Position". Both the data cards were upgrade at home with the Garmin Datacard reader with Windows 11. I redid the 530W data card upgrade at the hangar with an older laptop with Windows 10 and boom, it worked.

"No GPS Position" error may not be card related. I get that sometimes on my GNC 355 while the GTN 650xi is fine. It usually goes away on it's own as it continues to boot up.

This is 10 minutes after turning on the avionics. As you can see the 430 sees many satellites.....the 530 sees none.
