put it up on the dash or near a window, not on your console. The signal can't travel down from the GPS satellites thousands of miles and then bend to go around the roof of your car/dashboard. Sometimes you can get a signal without having line of sight to directly overhead, but it's luck.

If you have the GPS Status app, it has a neat feature that lets you point your phone at the strongest Sat signal.

My phone has a tendency to randomly reboot when the battery gets to 5% (but is not actually dead yet). Usually if I'm using Browser.
