2.1 Locking Your Position
• Go outside for best reception. Alternatively, connect the external antenna (if using the Compact Flash
receiver) to the GPS receiver and place the antenna outside on a windowsill (reception will take longer but you
can avoid the need to be outside). GPS receivers function via "line of sight"; GPS receivers cannot be used
indoors. See
• To see the signal of your satellite strength, click on MENU > GPS and select the "Status" tab. At the bottom of
the GPS Status window will be a list of satellites and their signal strength indicated with vertical blue bars.
Depending on your location and the signal strength, it may take up to 10 minutes to lock in for the first time. At
least 4 satellites are needed to lock. Please note that if you are inside, you may not see any satellites listed. In
addition, please make sure that you set your PDA clock to local time and date accurate to within 1 hour.
• If you are outside and have a clear view of the sky and still do not see any satellites listed, press MENU >
GPS > Status. You should see strings of data scrolling up your screen. If you do not, please make sure your
receiver is connected securely to your PDA, the COM port is correct for your PDA and that the baud rate is set
to 4800 bps (may differ if you use third party receivers). If you do not know the correct port, select Find GPS
Port. If Find GPS Port does not work either, please try each port manually. Now select "Open Port," and if
correct, data should scroll up the screen. If data still fails to scroll, perform a soft reset on your PDA, and try
again. Upon opening the program, data should be scrolling automatically. If data still does not scroll, please
