Getting a GPS Fix

The iCN 630 unit receives GPS signals through the aerial on the back of your unit. In order for
the aerial to receive signals, ensure that:
1 The unit is outside or in a vehicle parked outside – sunlight alone is not sufficient
(e.g. through the window of a building).
2 The aerial is pointing horizontally out through your windshield, and has a clear view
of the sky.
When you first power on your unit and program a route, it may take several minutes for the
unit to get its first GPS fix. You can minimize the amount of time that this takes by remaining
stationary in your vehicle until the unit has a fix.
GPS strength indicator is red
when the unit has no GPS fix,
and green with signal strength
indicators when a GPS fix is
available.
You will know when the unit has got a GPS fix by the symbols on your map screen. When
the unit has no fix, the GPS strength indicator in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen
will be coloured red and the words “Waiting for GPS” will be displayed. Also, while the unit is
attempting to get a fix, you will notice that there are no route instructions displayed on the
map screen.
Once the unit has a valid fix, the GPS strength indicator will turn green and you are ready to
program in your destination.
