FAQ
Q1
:
Why
can’t
my
GP
‐
102
get
a
position
fix?
A1
:
Make
sure
the
GP
‐
102
is
operated
outdoors
with
the
LCD
display
facing
upward
and
there
is
a
good
sky
view
with
less
obstruction.
Q2
:
Why
does
the
time
to
determine
my
location
vary?
A2
:
In
an
open
sky
environment,
it
will
be
very
fast
to
get
a
position
fix
if
the
GP
‐
102
has
recently
been
used
(within
2
hours);
otherwise
it
will
take
about
30
to
40
seconds.
Under
tree
foliage
or
beside
tall
buildings
where
satellite
signal
is
attenuated,
it
may
take
up
to
several
minutes
before
the
location
can
be
determined.
Q3
:
Why
can’t
my
GP
‐
102
accurately
point
to
the
north
in
the
compass
mode?
A3
:
Make
sure
the
GP
‐
102
has
been
calibrated
and
there
is
no
large
metal
object
in
the
vicinity.
The
digital
compass
inside
a
GP
‐
102
includes
a
magnetic
sensor,
whose
accuracy
will
be
affected
by
nearby
metallic
objects.
Q4
:
Why
doesn’t
the
direction
arrow
of
my
GP
‐
102
work
properly
when
used
inside
a
slow
moving
car?
A4
:
At
speed
below
10km/hr,
the
GP
‐
102
uses
the
internal
digital
compass
to
calculate
direction
to
the
return
point;
if
you
are
inside
a
car,
the
metallic
structure
of
the
car
will
affect
the
accuracy
of
the
digital
compass
so
the
direction
may
be
wrong.
When
the
speed
is
over
10km/hr,
the
GP
‐
102
will
automatically
switch
to
GPS
to
calculate
direction;
as
long
as
you
hold
the
GP
‐
102
in
normal
forward
direction,
the
direction
triangle
will
correctly
point
to
the
return
point.
Q5
:
What
do
those
arcs
of
the
satellite
icon
represent?
A5
:
The
arcs
of
the
satellite
icon
indicate
the
quality
of
position
fix.
More
arcs
mean
more
satellite
signals
and
better
position
accuracy.
In
a
weak
signal
environment,
you
can
try
to
wait
a
while
longer
to
see
if
more
arcs
will
show
up
before
marking
the
location
so
the
accuracy
of
the
marking
can
be
increased
Q6:
Will
my
GP
‐
102
remember
the
stored
locations
after
powering
off?
A6:
You
can
turn
off
your
GP
‐
102
to
save
power
and
all
the
settings
will
be
saved.
Next
time
when
it’s
turned
on,
you
will
be
in
the
last
operating
mode
with
all
marked
locations
restored.
The
memory
won’t
be
lost
even
if
the
battery
is
fully
drained.
