GPS is a satellite-backed system for determining your position.
With the help of 24 satellites revolving around the earth, it is pos-
sible to determine your position on earth with the accuracy of a
few meters. The satellite signals are received by the antenna of
the built-in GPS receiver, which must have a "line of sight" to at
least 4 of these.
Note: By limited line of sight (e.g. in tunnels, be-
tween houses, in woods or also in vehicles with
metal-coated windows) it is not possible to determine
the position. The satellite reception however auto-
matically picks up again as soon as the obstacle has
been passed and there line of sight is reestablished again.
Moving slowly (e.g. slow walking) also limits the ac-
curacy of the navigation.
The GPS receiver consumes additional power. This is especially of
concern, when running on batteries. To conserve power do not
turn on the GPS receiver unnecessarily. Also terminate the Navi-
gation Software, if it is not needed or satellite reception is not
possible for a longer period, for this reason. However, you can
also switch the device off by means of the On/Off switch in the
case of a shorter interruption to your journey. Pressing the same
switch again will activate a restart. The GPS receiver will also be
reactivated at the same time, if navigation software is still active.
Here, it can take a short time for the position to be updated
again, according to the reception situation.
Note: Please note, that your appliance is preset to
not shut down automatically after a few minutes
without activity. You can change this preset in the Set-
tings mode. If the GPS receiver has not been active
for some hours, it must orientate itself again. This
process may take a while.
