Just flew another 2.1 in our local Diamond Star with the G1000. Flew a
friend down to St. Louis area to pick up his daughter. On the way back, I
was putting a chart (the big book from AirChart Systems) down on the floor
between my feet. I bumped the Master/Alt switch. I looked up wondering why
the intercom died & saw 2 dark screens. Poo.
It was a beautiful (hot) day, so no problem. I turn the master back on and
in a few seconds I've got the primary display back. Radios & Nav, but no GPS
signal, and we're right under the shelf of St. Louis class B.

GPS can take some time to lock (typically 1minute with modern
receivers). How long did you wait?
