Improving GPS Satellite Reception
• Frequently sync the device to your Garmin account:
◦ Connect your device to a computer using the USB cable and the Garmin Express application.
◦ Sync your device to the Garmin Explore app using your Bluetooth enabled phone.
While connected to your Garmin account, the device downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to
quickly locate satellite signals.

• Remain stationary for a few minutes.
