      If your Haicom GPS unit HI-204III is not providing a position output, but the timer is running, it could be due to a weak or non-existent GPS signal at your current location. Try moving to an open outdoor area. If you're already outside, be aware that buildings or your car roof might be blocking the GPS signal. Ensure the HI-204III has a clear view of the sky. You may also press 'Reset' or connect an external antenna to the side of the HI-204III unit to improve the GPS signal.

      If you're experiencing a weak or no GPS signal with your Haicom GPS device, the issue might be due to obstructions like buildings or the roof of your car blocking the GPS signal. To resolve this, move to an outdoor location. Alternatively, you can connect an external antenna to the side of the HI-204III to enhance the GPS signal reception. Also, ensure the HI-204III has a clear view of the sky.

      If your Haicom GPS HI-204III shows no signal, this may happen because the PocketPC enters power saving mode after a few minutes of inactivity, potentially closing the COM port. Additionally, a weak or non-existent GPS signal indoors or inside a car could also be the reason. Unfortunately, there is no suggested solution provided in the manual.

      If your Haicom GPS unit (HI-204III-USB) isn't showing a position but the timer is running, it could be due to a weak or nonexistent GPS signal. Try moving the unit to an open area or the roof of your car and then press the Reset button. If you are already outdoors, the GPS signal might be blocked by a building or the car roof. In this case, move to a more open outdoor location and press the 'Reset' button, or connect an external antenna to the side of the HI-204III-USB unit to improve the GPS signal.

      A lack of signal in your Haicom GPS could stem from a couple of reasons. First, if the device hasn't been used for a few minutes, your PocketPC might have entered power-saving mode, potentially closing the COM port. Secondly, you might be experiencing weak or no GPS signal because you're using the HI-204III-USB indoors or inside a car.
