Then the GPS watch does not know what satellite constellation it should wait
and has to gather the data again.
Then there is
warm start
, in the best case it takes approximately 10 seconds.
A warm start can function only when the GPS watch did not go a long
distance away from the last determination of the position and there was not
too much time since then. The more satellites changed their position since
the last determination of the position, from the GPS watch point of view, the
longer the search for satellites will be.
For the fast GPS reception it is important for the watch to be at rest and not
to be on the move.
Advice:
Before starting running, before starting the path respectively, start
your GPS watch, in open space, with clear view to the sky (e.g. to window
ledge or on the bonnet of the car) and start searching for the satellites.
In order to search for the satellites, there are the following options:
1)
In the setting mode select „GPS” point from the menu
„On/Off“, set
„GPS On!“
2)
Press and hold down the „VIEW“-button from GPS-Workout-mode.
As soon as the signal is received, the following symbol will appear:
Search for satellites GPS signal received
Display of GPS status:
Antenna symbol lights – search for satellites
If "GPS fixed" appears on the screen, this means that the watch has
found a 2D position (the altitude is still missing, respectively).
