Find Your Current Position When you turn on the iFINDER, it automatically searches for satellites and under clear sky conditions, calculates its position in approximately one minute or less.

If for some reason satellite acquisition takes longer, you may be inside a structure or vehicle or in terrain that is blocking signal reception. To correct this, be sure you are positioned so the unit has as clear a view of the sky as possible, then turn the unit off and back on again.
