GPS connection
Your PND uses GPS technology for navigation. Your device receives signals from a
number of GPS satellites in order to determine your current position.
•
Place your PND in a position with an unobstructed view to the sky to set up
your first satellite connection. In the car this will usually be on the
dashboard.
It may take up to 10 minutes to establish the first connection. Subsequent
connections will be faster (30 seconds to 1 minute), but if you have not used
the unit for several days or are very far away from the last location you used
it, it may take up to 5 minutes again to find a strong signal.
