2. Understanding GPS

What is GPS and how does it work?
Your Sureshotgps™ uses the Global Positioning System [GPS] to work out how far
you are from the green or hazard. The system relies on the Sureshotgps™ receiving
signals from orbiting GPS satellites.

How long does it take to gain reception from the satellites?
Always turn your Sureshotgps™ on for at least five minutes before you wish to use it.

Can I use my Sureshotgps™ inside the home or office?
Your Sureshotgps™ will not generally gain reception inside. For best accuracy, your
Sureshotgps™ should have an unimpeded view of the sky.

When playing, what position is best for accuracy of my Sureshotgps™?
You should clip your Sureshotgps™ to a position on your buggy or bag that
maximises clear view of the sky. A range of accessories are available such as cart
mount kits and pull cart kits on

www.sureshotgps.com.


How do I Check for GPS Signal?
Before checking, ensure you have maximum clear sky above and the Sureshotgps™
has been on for at least five minutes

You can check the status of GPS reception by going to:
Main menu > Features> Status > GPS Information > GPS Signal.
It will display the satellite number and signal strength for each satellite. A blue bar
indicates that the satellite is being used in the position calculation. A red bar indicates
that the satellite signal is being received but it is not used in the position calculation.
The latitude and longitude of the current position is also displayed.
