I've seen this a few times, but I cannot seem to lock it down to any particular 
reason.  While sitting at my desk with a GPS simulator (so I have a known good 
signal), I will be doing testing and everything is fine (it seems to be walking 
around the place where the unit was built).  I will turn off the GPS unit for 
the night and then the next day when I turn it on, I never get a fix.  I've 
seen this numerous times and the only way I can fix it is to reboot the E310.  
It is like the GPS is getting into a mucked up stated.  Data comes streaming 
through, but it is just the last good signal.

I can't figure out a way to reset the GPS without rebooting it, does anyone 
know of a way?  I tried killing and restarting the daemon, but that doesn't 
seem to do anything.  I really think it is the GPS module, but rebooting it 
everytime I want to run things "just in case."

One other weird thing, when I run gpsmon in this screwed up state, it mostly 
looks OK, but it has weird characters displayed throughout the ASCII heading 
(for lack of a better term).

This is a good setup on a different unit (so I don't expect to see a fix):

There are lines around the different sections (they look like lines, not dashes 
and bars).


and then on the unit that is hosed:
