The processing speed of CPU, RAM and memory card on the PDA;
Time lapses are inevitable because GPS is updated once a second.

Q. My device has been successfully connected, but why can't I see GPS signals in Navigator, and why does GPS fail to position?
This may be caused by errors in COM port settings. The automatic GPS scan function of general electronic maps may lead to failure in GPS positioning. We suggest that you set the options manually.
Q. After using Navigator for positioning, why can't I find the GPS antenna on the electronic map?
Navigator is an application developed by Leadtek to test GPS navigation. After launching Navigator, if you press x or go to the map without disconnecting the program, it will occupy the GPS antenna's COM port. In that case, the map is unable to find the device. To solve this problem, disconnect Navigator before exiting the program.
Q. Why can't I use GPS at home or near the window?
A. GPS is for outdoor navigation only, so your device cannot receive GPS signals at home. Especially because it usually takes longer to navigate when you use GPS for the first time, make sure that you are in an outdoor place with good signal reception.
