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 internal
receiver of your device. For the location of the receiver,
see “GPS receiver”, p. 41.
• Signal strength may be affected by bad weather
conditions.
• Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple
of seconds to several minutes. Establishing a GPS
connection in a car may take longer.
• Some vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which
may block the satelllite signals.

amounts of data through your service provider's network.
Contact your service provider for information about data
transmission charges.
