3. Understanding GPS
What is GPS and how does it work?
Your Sureshotgps™ Micro v2 uses the Global Positioning System [GPS] to work out
how far you are from the front, centre and rear of each green. The system relies on
the Sureshotgps™ Micro v2 receiving signals from orbiting GPS satellites.
How long does it take to gain reception from the satellites?
Always turn your Sureshotgps™ Micro v2 on for at least five minutes before you wish
to use it.
Can I use my Sureshotgps™ Micro v2 inside the home or office?
Your Sureshotgps™ Micro v2 will not generally gain reception inside. For best
accuracy, your Sureshotgps™ should have an unimpeded view of the sky.
When playing, what position is best for accuracy of my Sureshotgps™ Micro
v2?
You should clip your Sureshotgps™ Micro v2 to a position on your buggy or bag that
maximises clear view of the sky. A range of accessories are available such as cart
mount kits and pull cart kits on
www.sureshotgps.com.
How do I Check for GPS Signal?
Before checking, ensure you have maximum clear sky above and the
Sureshotgps™ Micro v2 has been on for at least five minutes
At the top of the main screen on the right there is a satellite icon. When it is solid
[not flashing] you have good satellite strength.
