QuickGPSfix speeds up the time it takes to fix your position by downloading the latest satellite data via your device’s built-in wireless connection. It reduces the time it takes to find a satellite to just a few seconds, even when the satellite signal is weak or partially blocked because you might be in a parking garage, tunnel, or close to downtown skyscrapers.

Usually a GPS receiver needs to know exactly where each satellite is in order to calculate your location. But because satellites only broadcast their positions once every 30 seconds, it can take a minute or two to lock in on a signal, especially if you are trying in one of these partially blocked areas.

Because QuickGPSfix technology provides satellite-positioning data for the next seven days, it allows your TomTom to lock in on a signal almost instantly.

QuickGPSfix is a LIVE Service. Three months of LIVE Services are included with the purchase of the TomTom GO 740 LIVE.
