1, Why won't my unit turn on?
Check the power, does the battery need to be charged? Plug into a power source and then try to turn on the device.
2, Why am I unable to get a GPS signal or fix?
The first time you use the Eroda GPS Navigator, it can take up to 10 minutes to initialize the GPS. After the first time, GPS reception should start within 1 minute of turning on the device. If the navigation device has been switched off for more than 1 week, the next initialization can take up to 5 minutes. For the GPS to properly receive satellite data it needs a clear view of the sky. The most common limitations to receiving GPS signals are urban canyons, tunnels and metallic surfaces. Most of the time, this isn't an issue. If you are experiencing difficulty, place your unit near the rearview mirror.
3, Why does my unit sometimes make a popping or static like noise?
The popping / static noise comes from interference with cell phones. It doesn't impact the unit or its performance. If the occasional noise is bothersome, either turn the cell phone off or move the unit further away from the phone.
4, Although I am receiving turn-by-turn instructions on-screen, it is not speaking to me. Why is that?
Check that the volume on your GPS is turned up. Go to Menu > Settings > Volume. If the volume is okay, check settings > language & speech to verify your voice selected is a Full-text voice. This is noted by an ' * 'next to the voice name.
5, Why does my unit sometimes miss announcing the street name?
Yes can change the turn warning by going to Settings > Guidance > Choose when you want the device to speak the turn. Also check settings > language & speech to verify your voice selected is a Full-text voice. This is noted by an ' * ' next to the voice name.
6, My device provided me a route that was different than the one I would ordinary expect the system to select. Why?
GPS navigators rely on the quality of navigation software and maps, and the complex interaction between then. The Route Profile setting determines the routings. The Quickest Route setting relies on fast roads such as interstates and highways. This is not necessary points, which may or may not be the fastest.
