QuickGPSFix
Get on your way faster with updated satellite locations sent directly to your device.
QuickGPSfix speeds up the time it takes to fix your position by downloading the latest satellite data via your device’s built-in wireless connection. It reduces the time it takes to find a satellite to just a few seconds, even when the satellite signal is weak or partially blocked because you might be in a parking garage, tunnel, or close to downtown skyscrapers.
Usually a GPS receiver needs to know exactly where each satellite is in order to calculate your location. But because satellites only broadcast their positions once every 30 seconds, it can take a minute or two to lock in on a signal, especially if you are trying in one of these partially blocked areas.
Because QuickGPSfix technology provides satellite-positioning data for the next seven days, it allows your TomTom to lock in on a signal almost instantly.
QuickGPSfix is a LIVE Service. Three months of LIVE Services are included with the purchase of the TomTom GO 740 LIVE.
