How does my B10 get a GPS Fix?
The term "GPS fix" is used to describe when your B10 receiver has enough information from four or
more GPS satellites to calculate your position. You can monitor the strength of the GPS signal using
your third-party software. See your third-party software User Manual for more information.
When you turn on your B10 receiver, it may take several minutes to get the first GPS fix. You can
minimize the amount of time this takes by:
Positioning the B10 receiver according to the guidelines. For more information, see "How do I
position the B10 receiver in a vehicle?" on page 15.
Remaining stationary until the B10 receiver has a GPS fix.
