positioning error.
The GPSantenna is inan unsuitable
location.
The qualityof signals fromthe GPS satellites
is poor, causing reducedpositioning accu-
racy. Checkthe GPS signalreception and the
position ofthe GPS antenna ifnecessary.
Obstacles areblockingsignals from
the satellites.
The qualityof signals fromthe GPS satellites
is poor, causing reducedpositioning accu-
racy. Checkthe GPS signalreception and the
position ofthe GPS antenna ifnecessary, or
continue drivinguntilreceptionimproves.
Keep theantenna clear.
The positionof satellites relativeto
your vehicle isinadequate.
The qualityof signals fromthe GPS satellites
is poor, causing reducedpositioning accu-
racy. Continue drivinguntil reception im-
proves.
Signals fromthe GPS satelliteshave
been modifiedto reduce accuracy.
(GPS satellitesare operated bythe
US Departmentof Defense, andthe
US governmentreserves the rightto
distort positioning datafor military
reasons. Thismay lead togreater
positioning errors.)
The qualityof signals fromthe GPS satellites
is poor, causing reducedpositioning accu-
racy. Waituntil reception improves.
If avehicle phone orcellular phone
is usednear the GPSantenna, GPS
reception maybe lost temporarily.
The qualityof signals fromthe GPS satellites
is poor, causing reducedpositioning accu-
racy. Whenusing a cellularphone, keep the
antenna of thecellular phone awayfrom the
GPS antenna.
