23. GPS (Global Positioning System)
GPS is a satellite-backed system for determining your position. With the help of 24
satellites revolving around the earth, it is possible 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.
PLEASE NOTE!
When the line of sight is interrupted (e.g. in tunnels, between houses, in
woods or also in vehicles with metal-coated windows) it is not possible
to determine the position. The satellite reception however automatically
picks up again as soon as the obstacle has been passed and the line of
sight is re-established. Moving slowly (e.g. slow walking) also limits the
accuracy 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 navigation software if it is not needed or satellite
reception is not possible for a longer period. You can also switch the device off by
means of the On/Off switch if you experience a short interruption in your journey,
pressing the same switch again will reactivate a restart. The GPS receiver will also
be reactivated at the same time, if the navigation software is still active. There may
be a delay for the position to be updated again, this is dependent on the reception
situation.
PLEASE 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
Settings mode. If the GPS receiver has not been active for some hours, it
must orientate itself again. This process may take a while.
