The integrated CN50 GPS module has three operating modes:
• Standalone-GPS
• Assisted GPS
• gpsOneXTRA™
Integrated GPS Operating Modes
Operating Mode Description
Standalone In Standalone mode, the GPS module relies solely on GPS
satellites to determine position.
MS Assisted In MS Assisted mode, the computer can determine
position without receiving GPS signals directly from
satellites; instead, the computer receives GPS signals and
information provided by the cellular network. Even when
the computer can receive a satellite signal, MS Assisted
can improve position accuracy and reduce the time to
determine initial position (Time-To-First-Fix). Check
with your cell phone carrier for availability and pricing for
MS Assisted service.
gpsOneXTRA™ Qualcomm's gpsOneXTRA Assistance technology
provides enhanced operation for Standalone GPS. This
option enables the UMTS-enabled computer to
automatically download a small assistance data file from
the XTRA servers through a brief internet access session.
