Chapter 6 Using GPS Navigation

Introduction

The MC45 includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology using the QC Modem Solution chipset. GPS
technology is based on a worldwide system of GPS satellites orbiting the earth that continuously transmit digital
radio signals. These radio signals contain data on the satellites' locations and their exact clock time and are used
to determine your location on the earth.
WARNING

Software Installation

Third-party GPS navigation software is required. Evaluation software is available from various suppliers. For
example; VisualGPS, visit: http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/
If interested in purchasing GPS navigation software check with the GPS software vendor (before purchasing,
downloading, or installing any software) to determine that the application is compatible with the MC45. Refer to the
application's user guide for application installation and setup information.

MC45 GPS Setup

By default, the MC45 has the following settings:
1. Tap Start > Settings > System > External GPS icon.
2. In the Programs tab, the GPS program port is set to COM6.
3. In the Hardware tab, the GPS hardware port is set to None.
Multiple programs can simultaneously access GPS data. Each program must use Microsoft GPS API or COM8 to
access the GPS data.
