About satellite signals
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.
• If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may
be affected.
• Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of
seconds to several minutes.

Satellite status
. If your device has found satellites, a bar for
each satellite is shown in the satellite info view. The longer
the bar, the stronger the satellite signal. When your device
has received enough data from the satellite signal to
calculate the coordinates of your location, the bar turns black.
Initially your device must receive signals from at least four
satellites to be able to calculate the coordinates of your
location. When the initial calculation has been made, it may
be possible to continue calculating the coordinates of your
location with three satellites. However, the accuracy is
generally better when more satellites are found.
