Determining Your Position
In case your geographic antenna position is not already known, there are several ways to
determine it e.g., using a GPS-enabled device, such as a smart phone. GoogleMaps is another
option, described below.
R e a s o n s
Manually entering your position may not only reduce the time to "first fix" during initial installation, it
may also enable the unit to synchronize to satellite timing signals if your GNSS reception is poor.
After manually entering the position data, SecureSync will automatically check the status of the
GNSS receiver:
If no GNSS-based position data is available (yet), SecureSync will provide the GNSS receiver with
the manually entered position.

and as a result, have your latitude & longitude data in degrees/minutes/
seconds, you need to convert this data, e.g. by using a conversion tool,
such as
