Acquiring Satellite Signals
Before you can use GPS navigation features, you must acquire satellite signals. The first time you turn on your navigator, it may take several minutes to acquire satellite signals.
When you turn on your navigator, the GPS receiver must collect satellite data and establish the current location. The time required to acquire satellite signals varies based on several factors, including whether you have a clear view of the sky, how long it has been, and how far you are from the location where you last used your navigator.
