Configuring the internal GNSS receiver
The internal GNSS receiver can be configured to operate in one of three
modes:
● GLONASS and GPS – in this mode the position fix is derived from
both the GLONASS and GPS network in parallel. This mode is the
default setting and gives the best performance.
● GPS – in this mode only GPS satellites are used for the position fix.
● GLONASS – in this mode only GLONASS satellites are used for the
position fix.
