How can the best possible GPS signal be attained?
In order to receive GPS signals, the device should have an unobstructed view of the sky. The GPS signals are not affected by weather and will go through clouds, plastic and glass (with the exception of metal-coated, wire-mesh, and bulletproof glass). But GPS signals do not work indoors; buildings, terrain, heavy foliage, and materials such as metal, concrete, and stone will block GPS signals. In an automobile, it is best to place your receiver on or near the dashboard so that it can receive GPS signals through the glass windshield. A window mount accessory is available for this purpose. Acquire the initial GPS signal while stationary. Be patient, it may take 2-3 minutes to acquire the first GPS signal of the day. Keep the device turned on to optimize subsequent uses of GPS.
