Jason,
Here are a couple of ideas:=20
1. Loose connection between the handheld and gps unit.
2. Make sure that the battery on the Trimble GPS unit is fully charged,
if it's low it will not connect to the handheld or get a signal
3. If the handheld unit goes into a hibernation mode or shuts down it
will disconnect itself from the GPS unit. Simply turn GPS unit off in
ArcPad and turn it back on.
Thanks!!

Subject: shrug-l: ArcPAD and Trimble
Does anyone have any experience using ArcPad 6.0.3 on a Trimble
Recon running Windows CE. I am using a Trimble Pathfinder Pro GPS
receiver and I keep getting a message that the GPS is losing it's
position fix. Does anyone know what causes that and/or how it can be
fixed? I would appreciate any in put someone might have.
