Little Logbook – FAQ #2

Where should the device be placed inside the vehicle?

 

As with most GPS technology devices, the Little LogBook makes use of satellite triangulation technology. In order to aquire the optimal connection with the required satellites, the device should be placed and secured (using the provided adhesive attachments) to the dashboard, allowing it to maintain a constant stream of information.

 

While this is noted as the optimal position, you may find that your vehicle’s optimal spot is in another region, or that your travel route requires you to travel between mountains, hills, and tall buildings or through tunnels. In these situations, you should remember to check your device to make sure that it is able to maintain its connection, and adjust its position accordingly.

 

The connection between your device and at least three satellites is required for GPS tracking technology to work. Any obstruction or dense object in the direct path weakens the signal. This means that having a clear view of the sky is the most suitable way to maintain a secure connection.
