Yes, I know it's old. My 495 suddenly started giving me a "poor satellite reception" message. Has been working reliably for years. Checked antenna by putting a different one on it, so not likely the antenna (unless it's internal connections). Seems to have plenty of power (plugged into ground power). I'm testing outside with no obstructions, in fact just went for a local flight for an hour and my ipad was getting satellite locations fine, so not a planned data brownout by the military. The date indicator on the satellite page is showing several days old and the wrong time, although the clock is ticking over.
Can't seem to find anything on the internet so thought I would try here. If that doesn't work, will try calling Garmin tomorrow.
Thanks for any info.
