possible to continue calculating your
location with three satellites. However,
the accuracy is generally better when
more satellites are found.
To view the positions of found satellites,
select Chg. view.
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.
Establishing a GPS connection may take
from a couple of seconds to several
minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in
a vehicle may take longer.
The GPS receiver draws its power from the
device battery. Using GPS may drain the
battery faster.

service to receive your position

displayed. Select Accept to allow your
position information to be sent or Reject
to deny the request.
