Why does it say searching for satellites?

Satellite search may take longer after a firmware update or if the device has been off for 6+ hours — this is normal as satellite data resets, which is common across GPS devices.

When the variable speed limit changes on the Smart Motorway you are traveling on, the Pure series will alert you to the change of speed limit in real-time!
