GPS reception

When you first start your TomTom START, it may need a few minutes to determine your position. In future, your position will be found much faster.

To ensure good satellite reception, use your START outdoors and keep it upright. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.

Important: QuickGPSfix contains information about satellite positions which helps your START find your position faster. QuickGPSfix information is sent to Always Connected devices in real time and to Smartphone Connected devices when connected to TomTom services using your smartphone. You can also update QuickGPSfix using MyDrive.
