Stillo, this does sound like it's the heated screen causing the problem. Try to make enough cable available so you can move it off the dashboard and hold it outside of the window. When it happens (I'd suggest parking before attempting this), go to the GPS Status screen, wind down the window and hold the Leadtek receiver outside of the window. If the signal bars go up after 5-10 seconds from 2 or 3 to 5-7 then I would say you need to look at purchasing a re-rad antenna. Sometimes you can get away with moving the antenna to the corner of the windscreen, but it doesn't always work that well.
