GPS information
There are 3 GPS connection states:
- GPS not connected: The GPS is not connected.
- Receiving invalid GPS data: The GPS is connected but the data is not sufficient to compute a valid GPS position.
- Receiving GPS data: The GPS is connected and you have a valid position. In this case, you can view your latitude and longitude, the number of visible satellites, and your speed and direction.
The status must confirm the reception of valid data to enable navigation. If this is not the case:
- Check the connection between your device and the GPS receiver.
- Check that the GPS receiver is on. If the battery is out of charge, stop and connect the GPS to a power supply.
You may at times lose the GPS connection because of obstacles to the GPS signal (tunnels, underground car parks): the GPS receiver automatically reconnects when the signal returns. As a general rule, keep the GPS receiver in an open space with a clear view of the sky. After turning on the GPS, it may take a few minutes for the receiver to find the signal. Athermic windshields have a metallic layer that reflects heat but also prevents some GPS devices from receiving the satellite signal. If this is the case, these windshields usually have a dedicated zone for GPS antennas and other electronic devices.
