Many comments on the Yahoo 480 group regarding poor seating/mating in
the mounting tube.
Make sure it is secure, fully engaged. Even 1/32" makes a difference.

Dave:
I've been flying my RV-7A for nearly two years, I have a Garmin 480 as my
primary radio - probably one of the last ones to come off the production
line - took me a long time to get comfortable with it - not terribly user
friendly - have finally done it - it's a great radio - amazing capability.
A couple of months ago I kept losing GPS function - I'd be in the middle of
an approach or in cruise - suddenly - nothing - my long time mentor
suggested sliding the radio partially out of the rack and reseating it -
push firmly on the four corners of the case - then snug it down real good
with the allen wrench - haven't had a problem since - I carry the allen
wrench in the side pocket by my left elbow - every couple of weeks I snug
the set screw down.
Just a suggestion -
