This is a sophisticated electronic device. It is important to read, understand, and follow the instructions provided in the user manual (usually available via the 'manual' link above). To ensure optimal performance, you will need internet access and should regularly download and install firmware and software updates as recommended by the manufacturer. Like all GPS devices, it requires a clear view of the sky to connect with satellites, so be aware that certain vehicle glass or enclosures may block or reduce GPS signal reception.

Updates for this device are delivered via the internet. This page provides information on compatibility with current devices such as PCs, laptops, Macs, and smartphones. Under the Consumer Contract Regulations, you have 14 days from receipt of purchase to verify compatibility with your internet-connected device. Please note that if you later replace or upgrade your PC, Mac, or smartphone, neither ActiveGPS nor the manufacturer can guarantee compatibility with the new operating system.
