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.
• 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.
