Garmin Quest GPS problem

The above solution works even for the case when acquisition performance gets degraded. In my case it would take a very long time to acquire if at all. When removed the antenna,the gold piece remained inside the antenna as it should but eventual broke free after three disconnects of the antenna connector (which by the way takes a little force to separate the gold connector). After removing the back of the patch which just held on with adhesive, I soldered the patch side of the connector back as described above the unit began to work as new. My guess is the solder connection was either cold or beginning to separate causing degraded acquisition performance

Hi,
I have had the same problem. It is the aerial. Garmin have not madeit very strong. I would assume it is that as mine has done it now for the 2nd time. If you undo the 2 screws on the right hand side and remove the small bit of plastic to the right o the aerial the aerial should slide out. If the little golden piece is left behind, that is the problem. it needs to be soldered back on to the aerial. NOT a big deal for someone who can handle a soldering iron.
