2. Tap the GPS satellites field. A green checkmark will

Note: Selecting GPS satellites allows you to locate places of
interest at the street-level. However, this also requires a
clear view of the sky and uses more battery power.
To receive better GPS signals, avoid using your device in the
following conditions:
•
inside a building or between buildings
•
in a tunnel or underground passage
•
in poor weather
•
around high-voltage or electromagnetic fields
•
in a vehicle with tinted windows
