GPS

GPS Performance

Your Acer p-series PND has an integrated GPS receiver to locate your position on a map. The first time you use the GPS receiver it may take several minutes to determine your position.

Please note there is no GPS signal inside buildings, tunnels, garages, multi-storey and basement car parks.

Connecting the optional TMC cable (certain models only)

If you have the optional GNS FM9 TMC cable you can receive real-time traffic information via TMC.*

Connect one end of the FM9 TMC cable to the mini USB car charger, and plug the other end into the charging slot in the base of your Acer navigation system. Secure the wired antenna in the car using the rubber stickers provided.

If a TMC Traffic signal is available CoPilot will display traffic incidents on your route automatically and can recommend an alternate route if required.
