GPS Tips

While the receiver is gathering information, your location on
the map may display as different from where you actually are
located. Be patient. As soon as the receiver gathers enough satellite
information, your proper location is displayed on the map.
Any time you have traveled more than 600 miles with the GPS
receiver turned off, the receiver may take longer than normal to
initialize and find your location.
The GPS receiver can lose satellite signals due to interference from
such items as buildings, tunnels, and heavy tree cover. Monitoring
the GPS status is recommended.
To learn about GPS, refer to "Learning about GPS" on page 113.
