Enhancing GPS Performance
Sometimes the GPS feature is unable to complete a location calculation successfully. You hear an audible tone
indicating that your radio cannot see the satellites.
The GPS feature works best where there is nothing between your radio and a large amount of open sky. To maximize
the ability of your radio to determine a location fix, avoid closed space, tall buildings, and foliage. If possible, do not
use GPS in underground parking lots, tunnels, under bridges, and close to high buildings.

GPS Icon

enabled by your service provider.
