Troubleshooting
If you have trouble initializing or getting a position
fix, check for the following:
• Does the receiver have a clear view of the sky?
During automotive use, it may be necessary to mount
an external antenna on your vehicle’s roof or trunk in
order to give the unit a better view of the sky. Refer to
Appendix A for information about external antennas.
• Have you selected the right area when
initializing?
Check for the correct approximate position on the
Map Page (see page 24), reselect your approximate
location to restart the initialization, or select AutoLocate
and allow the unit to search the sky automatically.
