9.6 GPS
A GPS (Global Positioning System) signal receiver is built in the device. You have to
install a mapping software on the device to start navigating. Please follow the instruction
of your mapping software to install it and use the navigation functions. You may need
to specify the GPS hardware port when installing the mapping software. Select the
following value if requested.
• GPS hardware port: COM9.
• Baud rate: 9600.
IMPORTANT: Some mapping software or GPS navigation software may not be compatible with
the device, please consult with the software provider/retailer before installing the software.
Receiving Better Satellite Signals
GPS positioning is limited by bad weather (e.g. rainy or cloudy days) and usage
location (e.g. tall buildings, tunnels, underpasses, trees, bridges...etc). Typically, GPS
does not work indoors, nor can GPS signals penetrate buildings, car sun shades and
heat reflective film with metallic content.
It can take several minutes the first time you establish a GPS connection. If you find
the device can not detect the satellite signal, try the following:
• Move the device to an open space without tall buildings or trees around it.
• Make sure there are no wireless communication products (e.g. radar-detecting
devices and mobile phones) nearby since these products may cause unstable signal
reception.
• Connect an external Bluetooth GPS receiver (not included in the package) to the
device in order to enhance the reception.
NOTE: Your device is equipped with AGPS (Assisted GPS), please consult with your service
provider to see if this function is supported.
Using AGPS may be charged extra fee by your service provider.
