Important GPS tips:
It can take about 45 seconds to acquire satellite signals when you
first start the application, or roughly 15 seconds if it has been used
recently. Because the signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent
objects, GPS requires an unobstructed view of the sky to work correctly.
Thus, signal reception can be degraded by tall buildings, bridges,
tunnels, mountains, etc. Also, moving around while locking onto several
satellites makes it harder for those separate signals to triangulate
your exact location. Please try to stand still when receiving a GPS fix,
unless there is absolutely no alternative.
