GPS Status and Quality
When you switch on the device for the first time, it can take several minutes for the GPS re-
ception to reach a sufficient level and to determine your current position. If you are unable
to obtain a sufficient GPS signal, please read the Troubleshooting chapter for suggestions on
solving the problem.
Hold the navigation system vertically to obtain a better GPS signal.
If you are using the navigation system in an inner-city area, it may take longer to re-
fresh the map items on screen. This is due to the large number of roads and additional
information (e.g. hotels, restaurants) as well as the high-density housing areas. Fur-
thermore it may take longer to establish the GPS reception if you have just driven out
of an underground car park or another type of building where GPS signals are
blocked.
The GPS reception can be checked by doing the following
Check the
GPS status
in the status bar.
In case the status bar does not show the GPS status: tap on a status bar element and select
GPS status
from the list.
The amount of tracked GPS satellites is shown. The quality of the GPS signal is indicated by
the shape and colour of the check mark:
