Some countries prohibit the mounting of any electronic device in any location on the vehicle dashboard. Be
sure to check your local laws for acceptable mounting areas before installing the car mount bracket.
Some newer vehicle models may have a heat reflective shield embedded in the windshield. This may in some
cases obstruct the GPS signal reception. If you encounter this problem in your vehicle, you need to purchase
an external GPS antenna.
