QUESTIONS
Q:
What
other
factors
will
affect
the
accuracy
of
my
Navig8r?
A:
While
GPS
receivers
can
be
quite
accurate,
there
are
several
factors
that
can
impede
the
performance
and
accuracy
of
the
system.
GPS
receivers
require
a
clear
line
of
sight
to
the
satellites
to
receive
the
signal.
Bad
placement
of
the
receiver
in
the
car
can
reduce
the
reception
of
the
signal.
This
is
the
most
common
cause
of
poor
reception.
Tall
buildings
in
high
rise
areas
such
as
city
streets
can
impede
the
signal
reception
as
well
as
introducing
“Phantom
Signals”
or
Multi
Path.
These
can
reflected
off
buildings
and
other
surfaces,
which
make
it
hard
for
the
GPS
receiver
to
function
correctly
as
it
receiving
two
signals
from
the
same
satellite.
This
is
more
apparent
when
the
vehicle
is
travelling
very
slowly
or
at
a
stop.
Atmospheric
conditions
such
as
solar
flares
and
heavily
wooded
or
areas
of
dense
foliage
can
also
affect
the
detection
of
satellite
signals.
Q:
Can
I
connect
my
Navig8r
with
a
Macintosh?
A:
The
Navigator
GPS
is
detected
by
computers
as
Mass
Storage
devices
simular
to
USB
drives.
Macs
running
OSX
10.2
or
later
should
be
able
to
access
the
GPS
and
SD
Card
Slot
by
connecting
with
the
supplied
USB
cable
without
the
need
for
any
software
or
drivers
to
be
installed.
Q:
My
Navig8r
is
frozen
or
displays
a
blue
screen,
or
will
not
turn
on,
how
do
I
fix
this?
A:
Contact
technical
support.
Q:
I
cannot
find
an
address!
A:
Check
the
address
that
you
are
looking
for.
The
street
may
be
listed
as
in
a
different
suburb
than
your
information.
Some
addresses
are
given
in
a
“preferred”
suburb
rather
than
the
actual
listed
suburb.
Map
data
for
the
Laser
Navig8r
is
sourced
from
PSMA
Australia
(formerly
Public
Sector
Mapping
Agencies)
and
is
as
up
to
date
as
possible.
Q:
I
can
find
the
street
but
not
the
house
number.
A
:
If
when
entering
a
destination,
the
Navig8r
cannot
find
a
particular
street
number
but
can
find
the
correct
street,
try
entering
a
number
just
above
or
just
below
on
the
same
side
of
the
road
as
the
address
you
are
looking
for.
For
example
if
you
are
looking
101
Smith
St.
but
the
Navig8r
cannot
find
it,
try
looking
for
99
or
103
Smith
St.
House
numbers
can
be
spaced
differently
on
one
side
of
the
street
to
another;
the
number
100
may
be
a
block
or
two
in
either
direction.
