Appendix A: This might be caused by unstable satellite signals or weak signals resulting from heavily blocked areas, which affect the positioning of the car on the map. Q: Why is there no sign of signal transmission in my map utility program and positioning fails even though my GPS is connected? This might be caused by incorrect COM port settings. Most PDA map utility programs search for GPS device automatically and the GPS device is not found.
