Page 74: Frequently Asked Questions
The first GPS satellite was launched in 1978 and the full constellation of 24 satellites was achieved in 1994. A GPS satellite weighs in at about 900 kilograms and lasts about 10 years before it is required to be replaced. - Page 75 Typically a personal GPS unit is accurate to within 15 meters. The GPS system is only as accurate as the mapping software in the unit. If the map data is incorrect the visual representation of you location may not be displayed correctly.
- Page 76 A: The Navigator GPS is detected by computers as Mass Storage devices simular to USB drives. Macs running OSX 10.2 or later should be able to access the GPS and SD Card Slot by connecting with the supplied USB cable without the need for any software or drivers to be installed.
- Page 77 Q: I received my Navig8r as a gift, I need to send it for repairs. What should I do? A: The Laser Navig8r is covered by a 12 month warranty from the date of purchase on the GPS unit only. Accessories are not covered by warranty. Replacement accessories packs are available from where the Navig8r is sold or online at the Navig8r website.
- Page 78 Q: When I drive in a large CBD area, the GPS drops out or has trouble syncing A: CBD areas can have a canyon affect on GPS systems. Not only can tall buildings hide the signal from GPS satellites, it can also reflect the signals of the satellites that can be detected. This makes it hard for the GPS unit to calculate the correct position.
