The GPS is the means through which all location data will be recorded in the GETAC/Archer. The
GPS is set by default to not connect on startup. It will have to be manually switched on at the
start of each ArcGIS Mobile session. These are the various paths to get to the GPS settings

Select "Connect to GPS" to connect. Do not change and of the other settings on this page. Once
the GPS is connected, you will notice that GPS Status is now viewable. This is where the PDOP
connection statuses are found. Check this periodically, although the GPS is prevented from
connecting with any PDOP greater than 5.0. PDOPs of less than 3.0 are ideal.
If the PDOP is greater than 5.0 and is not connecting, try exiting ArcGIS and restarting the unit.
Also, try and hold the GPS above you while you take the point. If this does not work try to find
an area with less canopy cover or away from buildings.
To disconnect from the GPS, go to the GPS settings screen and tap Disconnect from
