You have to use the suction cup antenna and mount it high on the front
window.

Tried my 296 yesterday on a 3-leg, 1.5-hr flight around the area. We
were at 3500 feet MSL. It would draw the route, but shortly thereafter,
it would lose satellite reception. Did this 5 times. Finally gave up.
The airplane GPS worked fine the whole way.

Anyone else experience that with their 296? Antenna was up, simulation
mode was off, etc. I'm just learning how to use it and have no prior GPS
experience. Is this common?
