Satellite Status

I recently posted a question regarding the Pretec LP GPS and problems with it. I since went back to the Old Faithful Co-pilot sleave although I have noticed a drop in the number of satellites. Speaking to a colleague who uses a RTK system he told me last week he had trouble getting a fix (Keeping in mind the system needs a minimum of 5 satellite’s).

Is there a site which give an accurate status and coverage of satellites, I have checked out http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/gpscurr.html.

In addition just on the PRETEC LPGPSCF , I feel the main problem with this GPS is that it doesn’t seem to maintain its ALMANAC and every time it reset's (which seems to constantly) its as if it is a cold start.

Also the constant STARTUP FAIL is annoying, since the removal and re-inserting of the card fixes the problem.

Any feedback to the above would be greatly appreciated.

The link works if you remove the final full stop from it.

The link is correct but the Current GPS Status information isn't currently available.
