If you experience issues with your GPS antenna, try the following:

• No GPS Signal:
  • Ensure the antenna is correctly connected to your device.
  • Verify your GPS device is powered on and functioning correctly.
  • Relocate the antenna to a position with a clearer view of the sky, away from obstructions like tall buildings, trees, or metal structures.
  • Check the cable for any damage or loose connections.
• Weak Signal:
  • Ensure the antenna is mounted on a metallic surface for optimal magnetic adhesion and grounding.
  • Move the antenna to a higher or more open location.
  • Avoid placing the antenna near other electronic devices that might cause interference.
• Incorrect Positioning:
  • Allow more time for the antenna to acquire a stable signal, especially after moving to a new location.
  • Ensure your GPS device's software is up to date.

8. User Tips

• Users have reported good range even without precise directional alignment, indicating robust signal reception.
• For best results, ensure the magnetic base is firmly attached to a clean, flat metallic surface.
