leGPSBip User Manual
Searching GPS : the more it blinks orange, the more satellites are being acquired. Once GPS fix is done, it stops blinking.
You may need to wait up to 10min for an initial GPS fix (may vary with cloud coverage).
Notes :
Without GPS fix, your track will not be recorded.
When acquiring satellites, the battery power consumption is important.
Antenna positioning : Make sure the device is facing up to get the best satellite reception.
Notes :
Even when you are getting ready, make sure nothing covers leGPSBip, and the antenna is facing the sky.
Track recording will start 1 minute before take-off detection (if the GPS fix is done), otherwise, in the Configurator, you can turn off take-off detection, and recording will start at GPS fix and run as long as the device is on.
Info : leGPSBip has been designed to be used in paragliding. We cannot guarantee optimal performances in a car, at home, or in any constructed area.

leGPSBip runtime depends on the amount of sunshine and the activated options in the Configurator (see energy info for each parameter).
