Troubleshooting
My device will not acquire GPS signals
If the device is not acquiring satellite signals, there could be a
few causes. If the device has moved a large distance since the
last time it has acquired satellites or has been turned off for
longer than a few weeks or months, the device may not be able
to acquire the satellites correctly.
• Ensure the device is using the latest software. If not, update
the device software.
• If the device is using an internal GPS antenna, make sure the
device has a clear view of the sky so the internal antenna can
receive the GPS signal. If it is mounted inside of a cabin, it
should be close to a window so it can receive the GPS signal.
