FAQ

Q1:Whycan’tmyGP‐102getapositionfix?
A1:MakesuretheGP‐102isoperatedoutdoorswiththeLCDdisplayfacingupward
andthereisagoodskyviewwithlessobstruction.

Q2:Whydoesthetimetodeterminemylocationvary?
A2:Inanopenskyenvironment,itwillbeveryfasttogetapositionfixiftheGP‐102
hasrecentlybeenused(within2hours);otherwiseitwilltakeabout30to40seconds.
Undertreefoliageorbesidetallbuildingswheresatellitesignalisattenuated,itmay
takeuptoseveralminutesbeforethelocationcanbedetermined.

Q3:Whycan’tmyGP‐102accuratelypointtothenorthinthecompassmode?
A3:MakesuretheGP‐102hasbeencalibratedandthereisnolargemetalobjectin
thevicinity.ThedigitalcompassinsideaGP‐102includesamagneticsensor,whose
accuracywillbeaffectedbynearbymetallicobjects.

Q4:Whydoesn’tthedirectionarrowofmyGP‐102workproperlywhenusedinsidea
slowmovingcar?
A4:Atspeedbelow10km/hr,theGP‐102usestheinternaldigitalcompassto
calculatedirectiontothereturnpoint;ifyouareinsideacar,themetallicstructureof
thecarwillaffecttheaccuracyofthedigitalcompasssothedirectionmaybewrong.
Whenthespeedisover10km/hr,theGP‐102willautomaticallyswitchtoGPSto
calculatedirection;aslongasyouholdtheGP‐102innormalforwarddirection,the
directiontrianglewillcorrectlypointtothereturnpoint.

Q5:Whatdothosearcsofthesatelliteiconrepresent?
A5:Thearcsofthesatelliteiconindicatethequalityofpositionfix.Morearcsmean
moresatellitesignalsandbetterpositionaccuracy.Inaweaksignalenvironment,you
cantrytowaitawhilelongertoseeifmorearcswillshowupbeforemarkingthe
locationsotheaccuracyofthemarkingcanbeincreased

Q6:WillmyGP‐102rememberthestoredlocationsafterpoweringoff?
A6:YoucanturnoffyourGP‐102tosavepowerandallthesettingswillbesaved.
Nexttimewhenit’sturnedon,youwillbeinthelastoperatingmodewithallmarked
locationsrestored.Thememorywon’tbelostevenifthebatteryisfullydrained.
