2.6 Helpful Tips

z Some vehicles using heavy metallic sun protecting coating on windshields may affect

GPS signal reception.

z Streets with high rising buildings may affect GPS signal reception.
z Tunnel and indoor parking garage may affect signal reception.
z In general, GPS signal reception best in open space where it can see clear sky.

Weather condition will also affect GPS reception – rain & snow contribute to worse
sensitivity.

z Low battery status may affect signal reception.
z This device outputs coordinates data every second, therefore the actual position and

the position shown on your map may have slight time delay. This may happen when
you drive at higher speed or make a turn around a corner.

z For the device not in use over several days, allow it 1~3 minutes to obtain satellite

constellation information and fix your position, this is called “Cold Start”. Upon
battery replacement, GPS device will do Cold Start again.

z If your device can not fix position for more than 20 minutes, please change to another

location with open space and then try again.

z When using AGPS function, it is recommend to use GPSView to download the AGPS

data to your device via USB port. AGPS data will valid for 6 days for each download.
