At least none that the average person would notice. However, if you were under heavy tree cover, where you GPS has limited reception anyways... then the wet trees would limit the reception even more. The weather itself is not affecting your signal. If you are driving down the road in the rain, your winshield wipers can affect your signal as they temporarily block, but the rain is not the cause of the signal degredation, it is your wipers. So under normal conditions, weather does not effect GPS signal. This includes heavy cloud cover. There is lots of information on the internet to support this. Scott Team RTW
