Older Apollo GPS units no longer work
Looks like older Apollo units, I know for sure the Flybuddy, 2001 NMS, GX-50 and GX-55 aren't working since Sunday a week ago due to some change in the satellites and the resultant inability of the GPS engine in these units to find its position. The makers of the GPS engine are working on a fix. So, if you have one of these units and haven't flown in the last week, expect the problem. I was advised by support to wait and see what they come up with. If anyone hears anything different, pls let us know.

It is the earlier Apollo units.
