Tips on creating a GPS connection

Initially your device must receive signals
from at least four satellites to be able to
calculate the coordinates of your location.
When the initial calculation has been
made, it may be possible to continue
calculating your location with three
satellites. However, the accuracy is
generally better when more satellites are
found.
Establishing a GPS connection may take
from a couple of seconds to several
minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in
a vehicle may take longer.
If no satellite signal can be found, consider
the following:
If you are indoors, go outdoors to
•
receive a better signal.
If you are outdoors, move to a more
•
open space.
If the weather conditions are bad, the
•
signal strength may be affected.
Some vehicles have tinted (athermic)
•
windows, which may block the
satellite signals.
Ensure you do not cover the antenna with
your hand.
