GPS signal will be affected by weather and environment conditions, so it is recommended to use  the GPS receiver under less shielding environments to ensure GPS receiver has better receiving  performance.  B. When GPS receiver is moving, it will prolong the time to fix the position, so it is recommended  to wait for the satellite signals locked at a fixed point when first power-on the GPS receiver to  ensure to lock the GPS signal at t
