2. Observe the Map Page and the GPS status messages as
they appear at the top of the page.

• "Waiting for GPS" - the Que application is making
contact with the cf Que module.
• "Acquiring Satellites" - the cf Que is search for satellites.
• "2D GPS Location" - the cf Que has a fi x on enough
satellites to establish its location.
• "3D GPS Location" - enough satellites are fi xed to The Map Page

Current Location
If the cf Que can't get past the "Acquiring Satellites"
message, move to a location where you have a clear view of
the sky. Adjust the cf Que antenna to more of a horizontal
position. If you get an intermittent "Lost Satellite Signal"
message, move away from objects blocking the signal.
If you're starting up for the fi rst time or you have moved
over 600 miles since last use, it must initialize (determine its
location by searching for satellites over your current loca-
tion). Use the Location option from the GPS Info Page Menu
to mark your approximate location so it knows to look only
for satellites that are overhead.
Once you begin to move, the message fi eld displays your
direction of travel or the next street intersection ahead.
