Use GPS
satellites
to place a green checkmark in the selection box.
Using GPS satellites allows you to locate places of interest at the street level, however
this requires a clear view of the sky and uses more battery power..
To receive better GPS signals, avoid using your device in the following conditions:
•

•
In a tunnel or underground passage
•
In poor weather
•
Around high-voltage or electromagnetic fields
•
In a vehicle with tinted windows
