Default PCM Info Shows Zero Satellites - Where to Start?

The map shows my car somewhere 35miles away. Can this be GPS antenna issue? Info shows no sat and 1DGPS?

The PCM system is pretty crappy and loses connection with the satellites when there is heavy rain, etc... I hate it in my area as I take ferries quite regularly and it takes about 50 miles after a boat ride to recalibrate.

Wait about 50 miles and see if it recalibrates. If not, then start your troubleshooting.

I am having a similar problem, on a 2003 CS

Thus far I have tried:

The 148 reset
Pulling the 10A fuse for the PCM over night
Brand new GPS antenna under the spoiler

The 148 reset again

Still shows no satellites, however during the second resetthe clocks did briefly change to the correct time (1 second) before revertingback to being incorrect.
Any advice on what to try next greatly appreciated.

Unless you're really OCD about it, let it go and buy a Garmin portable for $100 with lifetime maps and traffic. Its nice to have GPS where you can actually see it too. In-dash GPS is a huge ripoff. Black Friday approacheth.

Mine was fine after a windshield replacement. (OEM windshield done by Safelite). About 2 or 3 months later, the Nav showed me driving in the ocean. I read about the connection area. I took out the cabin filter and looked for the cable connection. I needed a small mirror to really see it. I found the connection and it was not "snapped in". After making sure there was nothing bent or broken. I snapped it into place and started the car. The GPS cursor corrected itself in about 30 seconds or so. Very easy fix to do.
