GPS OPERATION

GPS Logger function

The GPS Logger function enables you to save
position data from a GPS receiver into a microSD card
as a log.
The GPS Logger saves Latitude, Longitude, Altitude,
Positioning state, Course, Speed, Date, and Time.
If you use this GPS Logger while driving, you can
check your driving history on a mapping software.

receiving your position data. (p. 5-3)
3� Turn ON the GPS Logger function.
Completed!
You can start using the GPS Logger function.
NOTE:

• Once the GPS Logger function is turned ON, the
transceiver continuously saves position data from
the GPS receiver, even if the transceiver is turned
OFF, then ON again. To cancel this function, turn
OFF the function. While this function is ON, and
when the transceiver is turned OFF, the log file will
be closed. Then the transceiver is turned ON and

not want to use the transceiver for communication,
but you do want to use just the GPS Logger.
