The quality of the satellite signal reception can be slightly affected by the environment and movement.
The quality of the satellite signal reception can be slightly affected by the environment and movement.
(GPS) - and soon the Galileo European System - reads a position on the earth, in the sea or air within several metres. To identify a location, a GPS evaluates the duration read by electromagnetic signals from four satellite systems: it then simultaneously deduces three exact coordinates: space, position and time.
To ensure effective reception, we recommend:
- Go to a clear area, as far as possible from surrounding buildings and not under a tree.
- turn the device on and launch the GPS signal search.
- the watch must be immobile while the signal is being detected (between 5 seconds and 2 minutes). You must wait for the GPS signal to be detected, indicated by the pictogram in the status bar of your phone.
- to optimise the search, place the watch on the ground to avoid interference from your body.
