Using the GPS for the first time
Using the GPS for the first timeUsing the GPS for the first time
by the driver when it was installed. The Baud rate will need to be set
to 4800. The CDROM contains the GPS Information command
which can be used for test purposes.
This unit has a built-in battery for power. The battery will last about 8
hours on a full charge. External power is recommended for
extended or unlimited use in a vehicle. A vehicle power converter /
recharger is included.
Using the GPS for the first time
The very first time a GPS is used in a totally new area it will take a
little longer than usual to get a location fix. Any GPS aware
application can be used to perform this initialization but it is best if
the application has some sort of GPS status display. Pocket PC
users will find the included GPSInfo command perfect for this task.
The following steps can be used:
1. Be sure the GPS battery is fully charged.
2. Take the GPS unit and the computer outside and select a
location with a good sky view.
3. Be sure that Bluetooth communication is enabled. The
Bluetooth lamp on the GPS (Blue on the left as shown
below) blinks slowly when searching for a connection and
blinks quicker once a connection is established. The
effective range of the Bluetooth connection is up to 32 feet
but don’t be surprised if it is less.
4. Run the application and select the GPS receiver.
