other colours may not appear with a built-in GPS. Should any of

these appear, this means a faulty operation of your device.

Note: When the GPS connection cannot be established with the last used

parameters (protocol, port and speed), iGO keeps on trying to connect. To save the

battery power in cases when you use iGO without a GPS, iGO first tries to open the

port in every few seconds, but later only twice every minute. If you later switch on the

GPS, the connection is still established without any user action but the repeated

attempts will not run the battery down.

4.3.3 GPS data quality indicator

In the top left corner there is a satellite dish to show the quality of the GPS position.

Different colours represent different signal quality:

x

black with a red cross means there is no connection with the GPS device.

This should never be the case if your device has a built-in GPS.

x

red means the GPS is connected but no GPS position is available,

x

yellow means 2D reception. A GPS position has been acquired, iGO is ready

for navigation, but the GPS is using enough satellites for calculating the horizontal

position only. Elevation data is not provided, and the position error may be

significant.

x

green means 3D reception. The GPS receiver has enough satellites to

calculate altitude. Position is generally correct (yet it can still be inaccurate due to

different environmental factors). iGO is ready for navigation.

4.3.4 Time synchronization

In the top right corner of the screen you have another button that leads to a new

screen where you can synchronize the clock of your PNA to the very accurate time

provided by the connected GPS.
