I have a Charge 6 and run semi-regurarly. I run with the GPS in Dynamic setting, and don't bring my phone with me. The GPS connect but after some time, when I am in the complete open and with anything that could block the sky, my Charge 6 complains that the GPS connection is lost and shuts down GPS.

This happens every time now for the last 1 or 2 months. Before I never had this issue, the GPS was tracking every run with no issue. What could cause the issue and what could I do to solve it? Thank you
