Improving GPS Satellite Reception

  • Frequently sync the device to your Garmin Connect account:
    • Connect your device to a computer using the USB cable and the Garmin Express application.
    • Sync your device to the Garmin Connect app using your Bluetooth enabled smartphone.
    • Connect your device to your Garmin Connect account using a WiFi wireless network.

    While connected to your Garmin Connect account, the device downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to quickly locate satellite signals.

  • Take your device outside to an open area away from tall buildings and trees.
  • Remain stationary for a few minutes.
