Getting GPS Location Information
Your Pharos GPS navigation device includes a powerful
GPS receiver which can pinpoint your location with
considerable accuracy. The Smart Navigator software
application on your device uses this information to display
your position on a map so you can always see exactly where
you are.
GPS receivers get their information from the series of GPS
satellites that orbit the Earth. This information is received
from the satellites, but no information is sent back from your
device. This means that no one can track your location—you
aren't sending out your location simply because you have a
GPS receiver.
Sending Your Location Information
If you want someone to know where you are, you need to
provide your location information to them. Until now, it was
difficult to provide that information when you were on the
go.
Your Pharos Traveler Series Smart Phone (Traveler 117,
127, 137, 619, or Phone 600) can not only receive GPS
location information, but it can also use the GPRS/EDGE
data network to send that information. This makes your
Smart Phone the perfect tool for communicating your present
location with one or more other people in real time.
Note: The Follow Me service can also be used with the
Pharos Traveler GPS 525 if you have a Bluetooth-enabled
cell phone that you use to connect to the Internet. In some
areas it may also be possible to use a Wi-Fi connection to
send and receive location information.
