Tips on creating a GPS connection
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.
• Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS antenna 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.
