Hold your device correctly
When using the receiver, from an upright position, move
the device to an angle of about 45 degrees, with an
unobstructed view of the sky.
Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of
seconds to several minutes, even longer in a vehicle.
See “GPS light”, p. 9.
Using the GPS receiver may drain the device battery faster.
If your device cannot find the satellite signal, consider the
following:
• If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better
signal.
• If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
• Check that your hand does not cover the GPS receiver
of your device.
• If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength
may be affected.
• Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows,
which may block the satellite signals.
