After these initial steps, you will be shown the map.
Getting your position and GPS signal performance
If this is the first time you’re using your phone GPS, it may take several minutes to gain a signal, ranging
anywhere from 5 minutes to 25 minutes. The time it will take can vary greatly depending on your
location. This is normal for all GPS systems when booting for the first time.
Once you receive a signal, you will see the NDrive map displaying your current location (as shown in
the next chapter).
If you have chosen to let the iPhone use your location, NDrive will show your current
position on the map.
What to do if my phone cannot get a GPS signal
Your GPS may not lock on because you are in a location where it is not possible to receive GPS
reception. If you are indoors where the signal is very weak, you will need to find a location where
you can receive the signal. GPS works best when it has a clear view of the sky. Clouds, fog, rain
and snow are barriers and will cause a GPS signal to degrade.
Signal reception will often be weaker in cities with very large buildings. The signal will bounce off
these buildings multiple times before reaching your receiver, resulting in a much weaker signal.
How to improve GPS signal quality
When using NDrive in the car, place it high on the dashboard, near the windshield. GPS reception
will increase dramatically.
Some cars have athermic heat reflecting windshields, which will prevent GPS signals from being
received. When using GPS in the car, be sure that your car does not have this type of windshield.
In order to better understand the software’s features, we recommend you watch all tutorials. They
are an easy and effective guide across NDrive 10 features. If you prefer, you can skip or interrupt
them. You can also go to Settings ► General to reset tutorials and start watching them again.
