Since each device has its specific settings, you should contact the manufacturer support so that the settings may be made available. If the message 'No GPS” appears, this is due to the fact that the equipment does not have an internal GPS antenna or the GPS settings of the device are not correctly set. If the GPS status icon is always grey, you should contact the NDrive technical support. Obtaining the signal can take up to 20 minutes, after obtaining the signal the icon that indicates the status of the GPS signal will change to blue and then to green when a very good quality GPS signal is obtained. With the icon that color, move outdoors to a location preferably in the open. While on map view, the icon that indicates the status of the GPS signal should be fully shaded in red.

In this case you should move the GPS as close as possible to the side windows that are not shielded and avoid approaching the device to the windscreen, which will block the signal.Ĭhecking GPS signal on NDrive software: start NDrive application. There are cars on the market with bullet-proof glass that can significantly decrease (or even prevent) the reception of a satellite signal in good conditions. The GPS antenna is usually located on the back, on top of the appliance and should stay pointing towards the sky as much as possible, so its placement on seats or hands could slightly decrease signal quality. If you're travelling by plane and you significantly change country or continent it is normal for your device to take longer to obtain a quality signal. The waiting time decreases significantly after first use. On first software use, the satellite fixing can take up to 30 minutes. It is common not to be able to fix the satellite signal inside buildings. When used outdoors, NDrive will have more difficulty in fixing a satellite signal in locations of dense trees or with tall buildings. To fix a GPS signal more effectively put your device on the windshield of your car, as close to the dashboard as possible so as not to affect you’re driving.
