from a couple of seconds to several

minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in

a vehicle may take longer.
The GPS receiver draws its power from the

device battery. Using GPS may drain the

battery faster.

Route guidance

Route guidance shows the straightest

route and the shortest distance to the

destination, measured in a straight line. It

ignores any obstacles on the route, such

as buildings and natural obstacles, or

differences in altitude. Route guidance is

active only when you move. Start the

route guidance outdoors to receive the

necessary information from the satellites.
