About Satellite Signals

Your StreetPilot must acquire satellite signals to operate. If you are indoors, near tall buildings or trees,

or in a parking garage, the StreetPilot cannot acquire satellites. Go outside to an area free from tall

obstructions to use your StreetPilot, or turn off GPS and use it indoors (see

page

17). Keep batteries

installed in your StreetPilot to ensure that it acquires satellite signals quickly each time you turn it on.

For more information about GPS, visit the Garmin Web site at http://www.garmin.com/aboutGPS.

When the StreetPilot has acquired satellite signals, the signal strength bars on the main page are green

. When it loses satellite signals, the bars turn red or disappear

. If the StreetPilot has trouble

acquiring satellite signals, a series of questions appears.

Using a Remote Antenna

You can use an optional external remote antenna (Garmin GA 27C). This is very helpful when operating

the StreetPilot in a vehicle with a coated windshield or an in-screen (in the window) heating system,

which can block GPS satellite signals. Connect the antenna to the connector located on the left side of the

StreetPilot. To purchase, go to the Garmin Web site at http://www.garmin.com/products/spi2, spi3, or

spi5
