NOTE
Anytime you are using GPS on the FR68 Series and you receive a phone call, the audio on the GPS
navigation software is muted until you finish the call.
Losing the GPS Signal While in a Vehicle
GPS performance on the FR68 Series may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and
windshields, which can block the FR68 Series from receiving a GPS signal from satellites. To improve
GPS signal strength, place the FR68 Series where there is a clear view of the sky. A direct line of sight
is required between the FR68 Series and the GPS satellites to access information from the satellites.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system that allows the user to track their position anywhere
on the earth.
Assisted GPS
GPS can be used in stand-alone or Assisted GPS (A-GPS) modes. A Stand-alone GPS receiver
downloads data from GPS satellites. It can take several minutes to get a fix. By using GPS Location
servers, A-GPS dramatically improves the performance of the Time To First Fix (TTFF) of GPS
receivers by providing them with data that they would ordinarily have to download from the GPS
satellites. With the A-GPS data, GPS receivers can operate faster and more reliably.
A-GPS follows the Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) protocol which allows the FR68 Series to
communicate with a location server.
