GPS/GPS-A OPERATION

■ GPS Logger function

The GPS Logger function allows you to store the posi-
tions from a GPS receiver, into a microSD card, as your
route.
The GPS Logger stores Latitude, Longitude, Altitude,
Positioning state, Course, Speed and Date.
If you use this GPS Logger while driving, you can check
your driving course on a mapping software.

on the environment. If you find difficulties receiving, we
recommend that you change to a better location.
NOTE:
When the "GPS Select" item is set to "Internal GPS,"
the battery pack or batteries may become exhausted
soon, due to the internal GPS receiver working all
the time. To minimize this, use the "Power Save (In-
ternal GPS)" function in GPS Menu.

NOTE:
• The GPS logger function requires inserting a mi-
croSD card.
• Once the GPS logger function is turned ON, the
transceiver continuously stores the position data
from the GPS receiver, even if the transceiver is
rebooted. To cancel this function, turn the function
OFF.
During this function is ON, and when the transceiv-
er is turned OFF, the log file will be closed. Then the
transceiver is turned ON and Positioning is carried
out by the GPS receiver, a new log file will be cre-
ated.
• When a free space of the microSD card is lost, this
function will be automatically paused.
The transceiver has an exclusive GPS logger mode
where only the logger is functioning.
For example, when you are traveling and don't want
to use the transceiver for communication, but you do
want to use just a GPS logger, this mode is useful.
See page 10-29 for details.
