Hello guys and gals Laughing
I have just today bought 2 i3s @ £179 for both from kwiksave, I seem to be having a problem with the GPS. When the GPS is turned on in the settings it later turns off (within mins ) so I then turn it back on or normal as it says, then go back to the map screen it then says on the screen (aquiring satallites) but mins later it says on are you indoors too wich I answer YES the screen changes to the map and it now says GPS IS OFF.

Is it simply because I am at my pc indoors at the moment.
Regards.
John

When you first use a gps it can take upto 45 minutes to get a fix allow for that . Afterwards it is a lot faster

If your indoors it will allow you to view maps without a fix and will turn off the gps.
You need to start it off in the car and with a good view of the sky.
From then on its easy peasy.
