No - it is almost impossible to get a reading under a canopy (and heavy
cloud also) - you have to move to an area where there is clear sky above
and then wait, usually a bit longer than usual, to pick up the
satellites. Then you can move back quickly and hope to get a reading!
Further to Martin O'Brien's posting as below, please may I request
that respondents answer one additional question:
11. Have you successfully used your GPS instrument from
beneath the closed canopy of a rainforest?
There are a number of interesting bird species that favour rainforest
as preferred habitat.
