4.3 Device Orientation
The device uses the internal GPS antenna that should have a good GPS reception and
consequently the device direction (orientation) is important. To ensure this, the side
marked “This side Up” should face upwards and should have a clear sky view,
unobstructed by any metal or shields. Plastic and glass do not usually affect reception.
Figure 12: Device orientation
The GPS receiver in the device is sensitive enough to allow reasonable reception even in
cases where the top side of the device (marked 'This Side Up') deviates up to 60 degrees
from the ideal direction.
Figure 13: Ensuring the device is located with 30cm free radius
In any case, this side should have a free space (with no metal obstructions) of
approximately 30cm radius, with the device in the center of it.
