FAQ
Q1: Why can’t I find my position with my GP-102?
A1: Please make sure that you are using your GP-102 in open sky and the LCD screen is
facing upward.
Q2: Why does my GP-102 sometimes work very fast and sometimes very slowly?
A2: If you have used your GP-102 in open sky within the past two hours, it works really fast;
otherwise, you will need to wait for 30-40 seconds to find your position. It will take a
longer time (a few minutes) if you are under a tree shade, inside a tall building, or in
places with weak GPS signal.
Q3: Why does the compass work incorrectly?
A3: First, calibrate the compass on the GP-102 and make sure that there are no metal objects
around. The GP-102 works with a magnetic sensor which is easily affected by metals.
Q4: Why is the direction incorrect inside a slowly moving car?
A4: When the speed is below 10km/h, the GP-102 will calculate the direction of the
destination with the built-in digital compass. If you are inside a car, the metal body of the
car may interfere with the compass operations. When the speed is over 10km/h, the
GP-102 will calculate the direction of the GPS. By placing the GP-102 horizontally in
the car, it will point to the destination correctly.
Q5: How does the satellite signal level meter work?
A5: The strength of the satellite signals affects positioning accuracy. When the signal is
strong, the GP-102 can find your position more accurately. In places with weaker signals,
you may need to wait some time for the signal to ensure positioning accuracy.
Q6: Will the GP-102 store my POIs after I turn it off?
A6: You may turn the GP-102 off to save power, all POIs will be stored. When you turn it
on again, the GP-102 will display the last mode you used. Even if the battery is out, the
GP-102 will store all settings.
