Page 7: External Antenna Connector
The TN-202 Compact Flash GPS includes an external port for connecting an active external GPS antenna for maximum reception of GPS signals. Although the TN-202 has a built-in GPS antenna and should perform well as is, you may encounter situations where an external antenna would produce much more favorable results such as when driving downtown among tall buildings, or when the placement of the PDA unit within the vehicle has a limited or obstructed view to the sky. -
Page 8: Led Fix Indicator
2.2 LED Fix Indicator On the left-side of the TN-202 is a small LED, which indicates when the device is initializing a GPS fix and when enough satellites have been received to produce a GPS fix either in 2D or 3D. From your GPS software you should be able to see the signal status of whether you are receiving either 2-D (Latitude and Longitude) or a 3D (Latitude, Longitude and Altitude) fix. -

GPS to become complete. This may take a few minutes depending on various factors such as the distance of the current coordinates from the last time the GPS receiver was activated, GPS signal strength and surrounding terrain (tall trees and buildings can block the satellite signals). The LED indicator will switch from solid ON to a Flashing mode one a GPS fix has been obtained. - Page 12 Also verify if the COM port was entered in the mapping software correctly. Another possibility is that you may be in an area where there are no GPS signals available. The GPS receiver must have a view to the sky and will not work indoors, or in areas of dense foliage. Move to an open area and place the TripNav receiver in a location that will have a full exposure to the sky.
