My unit does not receive a GPS signal, what should I do?
Sometimes it takes a minute a two to lock onto 3 or more GPS
satellites (you can see how many satellites are being received by
selecting the Main Menu - Settings - GPS Diagnostics). If you con-
tinue to have problems getting a GPS satellite fix, please make sure
that you are outside and the GPS antenna has a good visibility to
the open sky.
Some heat-reflecting windshields and built-in windshield heaters
block the GPS signal reception inside the car. Very often, such heat-
reflecting windshields have a hole behind the rear-view mirror or the
heat reflection is limited on the left (or right) side of the windshield to
let signals pass through. If you can not get a signal after mounting
the device, use the supplied GPS antenna lead extension and
mounting plate, then place your GPS antenna on that position.
Alternatively, you can use an external GPS antenna or buy a longer
extension lead to extend the GPS cable and place the GPS receiver
in the back of your car (remember: your GPS receiver should
always have a free view of sky and that you have free and clear
view of the road).
How many voice guidance languages can be down-
loaded to the system at one time?
Caliber Personal Navigation Systems come with a pre-installed
memory card containing everything you need to navigate in the
country where you purchased the unit. If you wish to build addi-
tional map data libraries (e.g. All USA + Canada <2GB> or
Canada-only <512MB>) we advise that you choose a flash card
of the same type that shipped with your system and with
enough memory to store your maps (as stated in database list).
What is the best place on the windshield to mount my
Caliber Personal Navigation System?
Caliber is committed to make your driving as safe as possible
roads. Any Caliber device should be placed in a position on your
windshield that does not block your view of the road, in any way,
and that enables an optimal usage of your device. Our advice is
to mount your Caliber product at the lowest possible position on
your windshield. Your Caliber device should not be placed
directly under your rear-view mirror.
