I think the solar storm affected GPS systems. Just returned from a half hour walk and the GPS in my smartphone was never able to fix a position. That is the first time that has happened.

I would assume the SPOT device only tries to get a periodic fix, so it probably has no data on him from the last few attempts.

So do not fear, I believe this to be technical difficulties, not an emergency.
