GPS Tips

While the receiver is gathering information, your location on the

map might appear different from where you are actually located.

As soon as the receiver gathers enough satellite information, your

proper location appears on the map.
Any time you have traveled more than 600 miles with the GPS

receiver turned off, the receiver might take longer than normal to

initialize and find your location.
The GPS receiver can lose satellite signals due to interference from

such items as buildings, tunnels, and heavy tree cover. Monitoring

the GPS status is recommended.
