When you have selected Onshore GPS mode, look for the satellite status in the top left corner of the map:
- GPS found means your Deeper GPS location has been fixed, and you are ready to start mapping.
- Looking for GPS means your Deeper is processing satellite information and currently the location of your
device is either unknown or not precise enough for mapping. Let your Deeper float in the water for up to 10
minutes until it acquires a better GPS signal.
- If the “Looking for GPS” status doesn’t change to “GPS found” for a long time, this could be because
your Deeper is indoors or under the roof of a boat, because the device is submerged, or because the surroundings
are blocking the GPS signal (for example, in a gorge or a mountainous area).
- “Weak GPS signal” status indicates that the GPS signal is available, but it is not accurate enough to
create depth maps. Let your Deeper float in the water for up to 10 minutes until it acquires a better GPS signal.
