Also happens with the GNS430 on long flights… Looks like it does not get new sat information after 4-6 hours you get loss of integrity… I landed and killed all power to the GPS and it started working again.

Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

Occurs in any aircraft using the WT GPS systems. Specifically I have seen this in the PMDG DC-6 and the AN225. Only resolution I have found is to cut power to the GPS and let it reboot. I have only noticed this after SU 14.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

I have same issue. First noticed on a C172 flight from California to Hawaii. Everytime I try to do a long flight I get similar in every aircraft. Replicated issue in flights from Alaska to South America, anything crossing an ocean on A320, TBM930, C172, Citations.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

Yes, same here - flying the Longitude

At the moment you can repair the “LOI” during flight this way:
Switch “L GEN” to Reset
Switch “L BATT” to OFF
Wait some seconds
Switch “L BATT” to ON
Switch “L GEN” to ON
Switch AP and A/THR again to ON
Wait about 30 seconds
PFD will regenerate and display the Ground area in the correct way
