Tips on creating a GPS
connection
If your device cannot find the satellite signal, consider
the following:
● If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better
signal.
● If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
● Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS
antenna of your device.
See "Hold your device
correctly", p. 49.
● If the weather conditions are bad, the signal
strength may be affected.
● Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows,
which may block the satellite signals.
