Reading this thread, I would like to elaborate on exactly the problem I experienced with my 540. It would lose signal for a couple minutes into the flight. My installer indicated he experienced the issue while taxiing during testing, so it seems to be a time related issue. The GPS did not require restarting and returned to normal operation on its own. It would function normally after that.
Clearly not acceptable function, but not quite what I think is being perceived. My other unit has performed without issue.
