GPS
With a GPS receiver and navigation software you can use the Pocket PC as
a navigation system. Depending on the equipment, the GPS receiver is either
integrated or available as an external accessory.
Map materials for your Pocket PC are available from retailers on DVD or
on memory cards or via an online shop.
You have two options for using the navigation software on your Pocket PC:
•
you can use the navigation software on a preinstalled expansion card.
You can install the navigation software via your computer, e.g. from a DVD.
•
To register your navigation software you will require the serial number of the navigation
software and possibly also the device ID of your Pocket PC.
Where necessary, the device ID will be displayed after the initial
start-up of the navigation software.
► Register your navigation software and your map materials as described in
the instructions for the navigation software.
If the reception signal is weak, you can connect an external GPS antenna. The external
GPS antenna improves performance under difficult reception conditions.
The external GPS antenna is available as an accessory.
GPS connects to COM6 at 9600 Bit/s.
Detailed information on this topic can be found in the help file on your Pocket PC.
A description of how to use the navigation software is provided in the instruc-
tions on the navigation software.
FSC GPSLocator
FSC GPSLocator
FSC GPSLocator is demonstration software that illustrates the functions of the
GPS receiver in your Pocket LOOX device.
The GPS receiver will also be activated when you start the FSC GPSLocator.
Exiting the program deactivates the GPS receiver.
The GPS module is calibrated when you switch it on for the first time. This can take several minutes.
Whenever you start the device again, your GPS receiver will be ready for use in just a few seconds.
Inside a building you will not normally be able to receive a GPS signal. It is therefore
best to calibrate the GPS receiver out in the open.
GPSLocator shows you the GPS coordinates of your current location. If you are on the move with the
device – either on foot or in the car – the direction of movement and your speed are also displayed.
The POI Finder is an application that helps you to find your way back to a previously stored position.
