Losing the GPS Signal While in My Car GPS performance on the Travel Companion may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and windshields, which can block the HP iPAQ from receiving a GPS signal from satellites. To improve GPS signal strength, place the HP iPAQ where there is a clear view of the sky or on the dashboard of a vehicle that does not have thermal glass windshields. A direct line of sight is required between the HP iPAQ and the GPS satellites to access information from the satellites. If your vehicle has thermal glass, consider using the optional external GPS antenna placed on top of the vehicle to receive the GPS signal. Chapter 5 GPS 44

Losing the GPS Signal While in My Car

GPS performance on the Travel Companion may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows

and windshields, which can block the HP iPAQ from receiving a GPS signal from satellites.

To improve GPS signal strength, place the HP iPAQ where there is a clear view of the sky or on the

dashboard of a vehicle that does not have thermal glass windshields. A direct line of sight is required

between the HP iPAQ and the GPS satellites to access information from the satellites.

If your vehicle has thermal glass, consider using the optional external GPS antenna placed on top of

the vehicle to receive the GPS signal.
