Surroundings with tall buildings, tunnels or poor weather conditions may

If the signal is unstable even when you are driving, please try changing the
installation spot of your dash camera. For the rst time use, it takes about
15~20 minutes to get GPS signal, and after that, it normally takes about 3
minutes.
