Limited GPS Reception
Functional disturbance may also occur if GPS reception is interrupted or interference
occurs over a distance of several kilometres.
GPS reception may be interrupted or interference could occur:
–
In between high buildings.
–
In multi-storey car parks or garages, in tunnels and under bridges.
–
In forests or tree-lined avenues.
–
During heavy rain showers and thunderstorms.
–
Unfavourable satellite constellations in conjunction with the mounting position of
the GPS antenna (in this case GPS reception may be obstructed for a longer period).
–
In valleys and in mountainous regions.
However, the navigation system is able to compensate reception problems over a
period of a few minutes without functional interference.
If the GPS antenna has been properly installed, sufficient GPS reception should be
present about 95 % of the driving time. If interference in the reception occurs more
frequently, improper mounting of the GPS antenna may be the cause. In this case, we
recommend you to contact your VDO Dayton dealer.
To avoid faulty operation or interference of the system do not cover the GPS aerial.
Stickers on the car windows or metallic window tinting within the area of the GPS aerial
may influence the GPS reception.
