Important
Various factors influence GPS signal
reception. Here are tips to help improve the
signal reception and time to calculate the
current location.
• Leave any enclosed structure (garage,
parking structures, etc.).
• Make sure you have a 'clear view of the
sky'. Buildings and trees can have an
impact on GPS signal reception.
• Make sure that the device is mounted
where it can have a clear line of sight to
the windshield.
Note: The first time the device calculates its
location can take up to 1 minute. Subsequent
times will be 15 seconds on average.
