GPS signal weak, Cannot get GPS signal, or No GPS data Move to an area where your device has a clearer view of the sky and can still connect with your device. Please note that some car windshields that have heat-reflective coatings may reduce the quality of the GPS signal.
Scout encountered an error Scout is having technical problems with the specific request that you made. This can be due to an address that it cannot find, or mapping data that does not allow routing from where you are to where you want to go. In this case, try to use a nearby address. Scout not available If you get an advisory message that Scout is not available, exit the application and then re-launch it. If the problem recurs, it may be due to a temporary server outage.
How long after I apply for the data service until I can use my Scout app? With data, you should be able to start using the Scout application right after it has been downloaded. How many devices can I install Scout on with my account? There is no limit of how many of your devices on which you can install Scout. To access Scout on different devices, simply install the app and then log in with your scout.me User Name and Password that you are asked to create the first time you launch Scout.
How accurate is the GPS? GPS accuracy can range from 20m (approx. 65 ft) to 100m (approx. 328 ft). Most of the time, the GPS is accurate to less than 50 meters (approx. 164 ft). What are ideal conditions for GPS navigation? Ideally, a device with a GPS receiver needs a clear view of the sky, starting from about five to ten degrees above the horizon. Solid or massive obstructions can reduce accuracy or block GPS signals, and may cause extended initialization time (time to first GPS fix).
What happens if I’m using Scout for driving directions and I lose the GPS signal while driving across a bridge or through a tunnel or lose the GPS signal for some other reason? A “GPS Weak” icon will pop up on screen if the GPS signal is not clearly received by the device. Once you have clear GPS signal, the icon will disappear. If you deviate from your original route, a Reroute button appears on the Follow Me Map. Tap the button for an updated set of driving directions.
I added a number of places to my Favorites from my scout.me account online. Why don’t I see them on my iPhone? You need to sync your iPhone to your scout.me account. See “Syncing with scout.me” on page 117 for instructions. How do I delete my list of “Recents?” In the Recents screen of the Scout app, left-swipe across an address and choose Delete for an individual deletion, or simply choose the Delete All button at the bottom of the screen. © 2012 Telenav, Inc.
I noticed there are stars next to some restaurants I have viewed or saved. How is popularity rated? Popularity is calculated by the user-generated ratings, averaged by considering the scores of the ratings and the number of users that have rated the location. A location accrues points based on how many stars it is given by Scout users. When a location consistently achieves above-average ratings, its popularity count increases. Negative ratings lower the popularity count of the location.
