GPS Position is incorrect / No Satellites Received
Over time your GPS position and signal strength can degrade due to a variety of reasons. Most commonly due to water ingress getting beneath the shark fin antenna mounting on the roof of your vehicle.
Symptoms of this can be any of the following:
- No Satellite Signal (0 satellites received).
- GPS Position does not move when the vehicle is in motion.
- GPS position is moving however the position is incorrect.
- Audible warning from the speakers that the system is not active.
