The availability and accuracy of this location information (and the amount of time that it takes to calculate it) varies depending on the environment in which you are using the GPS feature.For example, GPS location fixes are very difficult to obtain indoors, in covered locations, between high buildings, or in situations where you have not established a clear broad view of the sky.Understanding the GPS FeatureThe GPS technology uses radio signals from earth orbiting satellites, to establish the location coordinates, maximizing your view of clear unobstructed sky is essential for optimum performance. Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not available (usually because you cannot establish a view of a wide area of the sky), the GPS feature of your radio will not work. Such situations include but are not limited to:•Underground locations
Advanced FeaturesEnglish70•Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles•Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure•Between tall buildings or under dense tree-cover•In temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your radioEven where location information can be calculated in such situations, it may take longer to do so, and your location estimate may not be as accurate. Therefore, in any emergency situation, always report your location to your dispatcher.Note: Even where adequate signals from multiple satellites are available, your GPS feature only provides an approximate location, usually within 20 meters from your actual location, but sometimes further away.Keep in mind that the accuracy of the location information and the time it takes to obtain it varies depending upon circumstances, particularly the ability to receive signals from an adequate number of satellites.Note: The satellites used by the GPS feature are controlled by the U.S. government and are subject to changes implemented in accordance with the Department of Defense GPS user policy and the Federal Radio Navigation Plan. These changes may affect the performance of the GPS feature on your radio.Enhancing GPS PerformanceSometimes, the GPS feature may be unable to complete a location calculation successfully. You then see a message indicating that your radio cannot connect to enough visible satellites.To maximize the ability of your radio to determine a fix, please note the following guidelines:•For your initial fix, hold the radio in the face position.•Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where there is nothing between your radio and a large amount of open sky.The Outdoor Location Feature (Using GPS)This feature allows you to determine your current location using a location menu, as well as your current distance and bearing in relation to another location.
