I dont think it effects the gps signal. Ive used google ms ps for navigation and there were no issues. Excellent battery life by the way.

The GPS works great uses battery power really fast. Explanation of Advance GPS Capabilities explained on this link:http://www.overstock.com/guides/advanced-gps-navigation-features-explained

Your battery does not affect your signal strength at all. You will discover however that you'll be able to use your phone all day without the battery going dead. Just make sure you get the extended battery case that Hyperion uses. Also, get the white phone cover instead of the black. The black one shows fingerprints.

Yes, it saves the battery to do so. I believe it is done within location settings.

No. But my GPS on mine is all messed up and I can't get clarion to do anything about it since day one of having it.

No, it needs both GPS and cell signal to work. I park in a garage downtown that is three levels underneath a skyscraper and sometimes I can track it, but 90% of the time, I will have the last refresh from driving about a block or two away from work, set at the highest refresh rate. For $145 including a year of service I'd say its totally worth it! With geofences set, you'll know very soon by text AND email if it is moved.

I haven't specifically compared GPS performance with and without the new cover, but now with the charging cover the GPS works okay. I haven't noticed any decrease in performance, although I'm not a big GPS user.

I don't leave the GPS on on my phone. I'm assuming it does, as the internet works on my phone when in case.

no, it just logs its position, however, when plugged on the PC, it can inform your current location.

No. Has no affect on gps signal. A phone case made from metal or aluminum will affect the signal the most. I use a UAG case and the combo is perfect.

Not with this device. They might have a three wire version, try calling the seller. There are plenty of other GPS devices that hardwire into the vehicle or work on batteries.

I have found that it does not pay any attention to the info you put in. My roadmate tries to put me on a parkway (cars only Low bridges). I do not trust the unit and always check the route it gives. My advice would be to change the info when you are using it for the truck. My wife bought the GPS even after I told her about bad reviews.

My phone is working well with the new battery. I accidently dropped it in the toilet on the way to Lewiston, Id and couldn't get a battery locally. Hope this helps you as I'm not good with electronics. They've passed me by!!

I've only used mine as far as about 30' away down the drive. It's been very responsive w/ no issues at all. I'd have a look at the manual to see if you can change your frequency settings or look for something (like a security system or invisible dog fence, etc.) that may be causing interference w/ the signal. If none of that works, I'd then consider a replacement battery.

I didn't see a problem with dropped or lesser signal strength but when I turned it on to charge my phone while on the road it drained my phone battery. I quit using it and bought a mophie which I love!

Probably too late to contact Amazon that has 30 day return policy. My bet is that your battery went flat, and it is known that when the battery is does not have any charge, satellite reception has problems. So, first try to charge your battery. If that does not help, then contact Garmin support.

Yes it does. The GPS will continue to draw power untill the internal battery is full. There is a quick release to remove the unit when stopped. If you leave it on your bike powered on for a long time it will either get stolen or kill your battery. Just remove when stopped and you will be fine.
