Operation
Acquiring satellite signals may take a few minutes. It is best to be outside and have a clear, unobstructed view of
the sky. Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could result in the MC95XX being unable to
compute the initial position quickly. When operating the device indoors access to the GPS signals may be limited or
unavailable.
NOTE When using a GPS navigation application, ensure that the MC95XX does not go into suspend mode. If the
MC95XX suspends then the power to the GPS radio is removed. Upon resume the GPS receiver must reacquire a
valid GPS signal, resulting in a a delay of positional information.

GPS Maps on microSD Cards

GPS navigation software vendors may sell maps on microSD cards. If using a microSD card with the GPS
navigation software install the microSD memory card using procedure in Installing a microSD Card on page 1-3.

Answering a Phone Call While Using GPS

If you receive a phone call while using your GPS navigation software:
Answer the phone call by pressing the Answer button.
1.
Once you end the phone call, press the End Call button to resume the audio on the GPS software.
2.
NOTE Anytime you are using GPS on the MC95XX and you receive a phone call, the audio on the GPS navigation
software is muted until you finish the call.

Losing the GPS Signal While in a Vehicle

GPS performance on the MC95XX may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and windshields,
which can block the MC95XX from receiving a GPS signal from satellites. To improve GPS signal strength, place
the MC95XX where there is a clear view of the sky. A direct line of sight is required between the MC95XX and the
GPS satellites to access information from the satellites.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system that allows the user to track their position anywhere on the earth.

Assisted GPS

GPS can be used in stand-alone or Assisted GPS (A-GPS) modes. A Stand-alone GPS receiver downloads data
from GPS satellites. It can take several minutes to get a fix. By using GPS Location servers, A-GPS dramatically
improves the performance of the Time To First Fix (TTFF) of GPS receivers by providing them with data that they
would ordinarily have to download from the GPS satellites. With the A-GPS data, GPS receivers can operate faster
and more reliably.
