Hello,
My Skoda Roomster GPS no longer recognizes my starting location

    Hello

    he can only calculate his position if he captures several satellites

    I have the same phenomenon on my old TomTom, but after a few hundred meters the navigation starts from the updated position

    A thank you is nice.
    Mark as resolved if your problem has found a solution. I address everyone informally.

      Good evening, I have two GPS units from the same brand in my car, one autonomous that should be 5 or 6 years old but of higher quality, the other onboard which is about 3 years old. Indeed, at my home, the autonomous model often, though not always, takes a few tens of seconds to lock onto the signal, but almost never elsewhere and always when starting up, never when returning. We can of course talk about a power issue and more likely, under these conditions, an inherent startup latency in the model that isn’t necessarily wear. But that would overlook the fact that GPS reception depends closely on the terrain, urban density, weather, and even the age of the captain.

      Hello and thank you, in fact it remains off-road all the time.

      If he doesn’t just take a certain amount of time to recognize the starting location as you initially said, but doesn't connect at all, it’s either that it’s out of service, or that there is a satellite setting (GPS, Galileo...) that hasn’t been done, or that it is set to indoor simulation mode, but I’m not sure that mode exists on embedded GPS.

      Assuming it’s not a dead-end, how can I address the other two possibilities? what steps should I take please thank you

      I don’t know, I don’t know the model.

      You have to explore all the parameters to verify that they are correct; on certain models, but perhaps not those built-in, perhaps consult the manual, the “satellite selection” parameter, and in general it’s not easy to find, test at the same time the reception quality on the chosen “network” (Galileo if the model allows it, GPS, Glonass...)
