Enhancing GPS Performance
Sometimes the GPS feature is unable to complete a location calculation successfully. You hear an
audible tone indicating that your radio cannot see the satellites.
The GPS feature works best where there is nothing between your radio and a large amount of open
sky. To maximize the ability of your radio to determine a location fix, avoid closed space, tall buildings,
and foliage. If possible, do not use GPS in underground parking lots, tunnels, under bridges, and close
to high buildings.

Depending on the
current GPS state, the icon can be solid – GPS has a fix, or blinking – GPS is searching for a fix. The
blinking GPS icon can be disabled/enabled by your service provider.
