4. GPS and charging the battery

Devices using GPS need much power, so it is important
to always charge the device before taking it into use.
When not in use, switch off the device to save power.

When you have turned the TWIG device on, make sure it
gets GPS position before taking it into use. Usually this
means you need to go outdoors to open sky. Getting
GPS position can take several minutes.

Due to GPS satellite system, getting GPS position can be
difficult if there has been a longer period during which the
device hasn’t had an active GPS connection. This hap­pens e.g. when getting position for the first time. You can
help the acquisition by keeping the device stationary.

Once your TWIG device is activated, you can start using
it together with the TWIG Web Finder service.
