Tips
Various factors influence GPS signal reception and
there are some tips you can follow to improve the
signal reception and time it takes to calculate the
current location.
• Leave any enclosed structure, (garage,
parking structures, etc.).
• Make sure you have a ‘clear view of the
sky’. Buildings and trees can have an
impact on GPS signal reception. The less
obstructions, the easier the signal reception
is.
• Be sure that the device is mounted where
it can have a clear line of sight to the
windshield.
Note: The first time the device calculates its
location can take up to 1 minute, subsequent times
will be 15 seconds on average.
