About the GPS Module Operating Modes

Document Title
4 Tap OK.
The integrated GPS module has three operating modes:
• Standalone
• MS Assisted (Mobile Station Assisted)
• gpsOneXTRA™ (UMTS computers only)
In Standalone mode, the GPS module relies solely on GPS satellites to
determine position.
Note:The CN51 also supports GLONASS.
In MS Assisted mode, the computer can determine position without
receiving GPS signals directly from satellites. Instead, the computer
receives GPS signals and information provided by the cellular network.
Even when the computer can receive a satellite signal, MS Assisted can
improve position accuracy and reduce the time to determine initial
position (Time-to-first-Fix). Check with your cell phone carrier for
availability and pricing for MS Assisted service.
