HOW TO USE
HOW TO GET THE BEST GPS PERFORMANCE
Your Contour+2 is most efficient in obtaining a Position Fix when it is under
an open sky. Some factors that can improve the camera’s ability to get a
Position Fix include:
+ Be outdoors. GPS will not work indoors or under overhead obstructions.
+ Avoid tall buildings, cliffs, or objects blocking the view to the sky or horizon.
+ Avoid being in a natural or urban canyon where the satellite signals can
bounce around before getting to the camera.
+ Stay out from under trees with thick foliage overhead.
+ Keep the camera stationary until a Position Fix is acquired.
+ Do not have the Record Slider (where the GPS antenna is located)
obscured by clothing, other equipment, or the user’s body.
+ Make sure that no other devices nearby are emitting electronic noise
that could interfere with the camera’s antenna.
+ Connect the camera to Contour Storyteller or the Contour Connect
mobile app so that it can get an updated GPS Assist file.
