War ning

Yes, lightning, climate (overcast, rainy and cloudy) etc., all may affect the signals and use of
GPS.
2. What factors may affect the signals of GPS?
1) SA satellite message is from DOD in USA. The precision of GPS signal is directly
controlled by DOD in USA, in order to ensure security, the signal precision for civilian use is
lower than that for army, so in some sensitive places, military base for example, the signals
can be interfered and the precision of positioning may be reduced.
2) Weather factors (macula, bad weather may reduce the intensity of signals and result in
instable orientation.)
3) Electric, electromagnetism, wireless wave and strong magnetic field all has different certain
interference.
4) Under veils, such as buildings, cars, heat insulation papers, metal veils and trees, they all
may reduce the signals of GPS, therefore, place the device close to the windshield.
3. Why does not GPS receive signals in buildings?
The signals can be obstructed easily by buildings and metals, and they can't penetrate
through the wall of buildings, so the GPS can't be used in buildings.
4. Does the affect the signals of GPS?
It will have certain effect on GPS when the material of sun membrane contains metal.

Time for charging: 3-3.5hrs under standby mode, the time will be different in different
surroundings, the unit can also be charged when power on, but the time shall be longer, it is
normal that the unit heat while charging.
7. What advantages does our GPS solution have?
It supports quick global positioning, stable signals, usage is free of service, has a detailed
map for each city, uses voice navigation for the whole trip with intelligent layout of the route,
5-inch TFT touch screen with 65k colors internal GPS and high capacity rechargeable LI-
polymer battery.
8. Normally, how many satellites can GPS receiver capture?
Normally, most GPS receivers can capture 8-12 satellites.
