When setting up GPS on your Gizmondo
TM
Device, from a ‘Cold Start’, you
need to be patient, as long as all of the conditions are as detailed above, it
may take some minutes for the GPS signal to be located and decoded.
Remember that the Device has to search the whole sky for satellites, find
the three satellites with the strongest signals and then decode an extremely
complex signal before it can transmit your Device’s location to you.
Once your Gizmondo
TM
Device has established the GPS signal it is
important to try and maintain this connection for at least 15 minutes. This
gives the Gizmondo
TM
Device the opportunity to consolidate the information
it is receiving from the satellites. This means that the next time you go to use
the GPS services it should not take as long to search for a signal.
If the Gizmondo
TM
Device is moved to a location where it has a poor view
of the sky, then the GPS signal will not be able to constantly be updating
itself and if the Device is on standby, the GPS function will be turned off.
The GPS will then try to re-establish a signal at intervals until a signal can
be re-established successfully. Due to this, it is preferable not to switch the
Gizmondo
TM
Device into the standby mode when attempting to establish a
GPS signal.
