π General Troubleshooting Steps

Many tracking issues are caused by poor placement.
Best placement: Somewhere with a clear, unobstructed view of the sky.
Avoid: Inside a trunk, engine bay, or anywhere surrounded by metal.

If hidden under a vehicleβs frame, place it as close to the edge as possible.
