User manual MOBILE CROSSING COMPACTFLASH GPS

[. . . ] There is one lamp that indicates power is being received by the unit. When a fix is available on the GPS receiver the lamp will blink. 4 Installation and Setup PDA users Plug the unit into your PDA CF slot and you're done with the installation. The label side of the GPS should face the front of the PDA. An application is needed to take advantage of the GPS signal. [. . . ] Remove it from the PDA or turn off power to it when inside to avoid long lock times later due to the GPS giving up and thinking it has to initialize itself. Get a position lock before driving off or entering the woods where reception may be more difficult. The GPS can hang onto a lock easier than it can get one. Only one program can talk to the GPS at a time. If you have trouble connecting to the GPS, be sure that some other program is not using it. Try to find a mounting position that permits angling the GPS backward with the display pointing slightly up. This will improve the ability of the GPS to maintain a lock. When hiking, hold the unit horizontally with the antenna away from you. If you put the unit in your pocket, be sure that the antenna is faced out. When removed from the PDA, the information in the GPS is preserved with a supercap. Use the unit at least once a week to keep the data intact. Otherwise expect a longer initial lock time. Some cars have a metalized sunscreen embedded in the windshield which blocks the GPS signals. An external antenna placed on the outside of the car will solve this problem. Suitable locations include the roof, the hood, the trunk area, or the top of the fenders. The antenna lead in wire can usually be routed into the car via spaces between the parts on the car such as within a door jamb or trunk lid. Most external antennas have a magnet in their base to permit attachment to the desired location. This GPS unit requires an antenna with an MMCX connector and is designed to work on 2. 5 Volts. 8 Information GPS Information GPS Information from Globalsat Technology Corporation is included to provide a troubleshooting tool for any GPS problems that might be encountered. It can be used to reset the GPS device and provides analysis data about a fix. It can also be used to enable WAAS on the GPS device. It does not report whether WAAS is in use. WAAS is an augmentation system that can provide increased accuracy in some situations. [. . . ] The numbers at the bottom of the bar are the same numbers as the one on the map so that the two charts can be tied together. The receiver is getting a signal from satellite 6 but does not have the data yet to use it as part of the solution. By the way, the map of the earth shown on the upper chart is bogus since the satellite view is looking up, not down with the center of the circle representing the current location and North at the top.
