    At the time I reported losing signal on my Garmin road unit on the way
    to and from St. Joseph, Michigan and attributed it to the spike. I was
    wrong. In later testing it is an issue with the car radio and that unit.
    (My radio is always on/FM.) Lose signal, turn radio off, signal back in
    a second. Tried relocating the unit on the windshield (windshield
    mounting legal in Indiana) with minor success. Also experimented with my
    11-year-old nautical Garmin (which I used on the road with waypoints for
    almost 10 years) with zero problems.
    
    As the road Garmin started exhibiting this behavior a year or so ago and
    the older nautical Garmin has no problems, I suspect it is an issue with
    the road Garmin rather than the radio.
    
    Live and learn--hopefully!
