I don't understand this complaint. Lack of cell phone signal has nothing to do with GPS signal availability. You just need a reasonable amount of sky to point at.
- PStamatiou 17y agoYeah I know one is cell signal and one is sat.. I'm just trying to say that my building's construction inadvertently blocks everything. If I whip out my iPhone and press the locate button in the Maps app, that has no idea where I am. Same with my Dash Express if used inside my apartment. Getting the GPS lock required putting the MicroCell right on an open window, almost outside.. not even a few feet from it worked.
- maximilian 17y agoWhich makes the requirement that it gets a GPS lock before it works that much more ridiculous. GPS gets terrible reception in any indoor situation. It can have trouble with just trees.
