GPS
Tap Start / Settings / System / System Information / Wireless
to see if your unit has a built-in GPS. COM2 is the dedicated
hardware port for the built-in GPS and GPS Address shows the
COM port.
Your unit does NOT come with a GPS-aware application
installed. If you want to use GPS capabilities on your unit, you
must install a GPS-aware application.
The GPS is turned on when a GPS-aware application accesses it
and it is turned off when all GPS-aware applications are closed.
To see if the GPS is on or off, refer to the Today screen. You
cannot modify its state from there. Running the GPS will impact
the Nomad's battery performance, so the GPS should be turned
off when not in use.
GPS settings: If you only run one GPS-aware application at a
time, there is no need to adjust the GPS settings. If you want to
use multiple GPS-aware applications to share a single GPS
device, change the settings at Start / Settings / System / GPS.
For more information on these settings, refer to page 17.
