GPS Tips
While the receiver is gathering information, your location on the
map might appear different from where you are actually located.
As soon as the receiver gathers enough satellite information, your
proper location appears on the map.
When you travel more than 600 miles with the GPS receiver turned
off, the receiver may take longer than normal to initialize and nd
your location.
The GPS receiver can lose satellite signals due to interference from
such items as buildings, tunnels, and heavy tree cover. Monitoring
the GPS status is recommended.
