Since the Trackstick II is a GPS device, it requires some time to sync with the big GPS eyes in the sky. For that purpose, turn it on using the switch on the side and give it a good home where it'll be able to see as much of the sky as possible. 15 minutes is the longest it'll take to sync with the satellites, but I've seen the Trackstick sync in as fast as under 5 minutes.

How do you know whether synchronization is achieved or not ? Simple : keep an eye on the little LED at the front of the stick. When you turn it on, it'll be blinking red every now and then. After sync is achieved, it'll start blinking green roughly every 5 seconds.

But since this is going to take a while, let's leave your trackstick alone for the time being, go make some tea and let's move on to the next step.
