I ran into something on the 430 that I hadn't seen in the 8 years I've been flying with it. I powered up, self check ok on the 430, called for clearance and taxied a very short ways to 09. Ground checks ok, but as I was taxiing from the runup to the runway, a big yellow "No GPS" message splashed across the 430's screen. It had successfully resolved position prior to this for the short taxi out. Anyway, I decided since it was a local flight I'd proceed (wow, what if I had had to use a vor to get back home, or worse yet, my eyes!). I ignored the complaint, and took off. The next time I looked down, at about 100' agl, it was back to normal.
I've seen raim warnings, but not an outage (or whatever it is called). Anyone else seen this?
I'll dig through the manual to see what it says also.
