Enhancing GPS Performance

Sometimes, the GPS feature may be unable to complete a
location calculation successfully. You then see a message
indicating that your radio cannot connect to enough visible
satellites.
To maximize the ability of your radio to determine a fix, please
note the following guidelines:
•
For your initial fix, hold the radio in the face position.
•
Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where there is
nothing between your radio and a large amount of open sky.

The Outdoor Location Feature (Using GPS)

This feature allows you to determine your current location using
a location menu, as well as your current distance and bearing in
relation to another location. Radio location may be requested
and reported over-the-air.
Your radio stores up to a maximum of sixty (60) programmable
location coordinates, also known as waypoints. When the
memory is full, the next waypoints automatically replaces the
oldest waypoints in the radio.

coordinates cannot be deleted.

one at a time, or all at once.
Note: The radio automatically exits the feature, if the feature
inactivity timer is enabled, when the radio is left idle
and the timer expires. You will hear the Menu Inactive
Exit Tone upon feature exit.
