How GPS Works
The Global
Positioning System
(GPS) is made up of
twenty four orbiting
satellites and was
developed by the U.S. military. There are
at least four satellites visible at any given
time every day.
A GPS receiver is designed to locate
and receive data from four of these
satellites. This data includes the distance
to your location from each of the satellites.
Once the distance from each satellite is
known, the receiver can calculate and
pinpoint your exact location.
Software Updates
The GX65’s red light and speed camera
database is easily updated using our
exclusive detector software tools found on
our web site. Firmware, or the operating
software for the detector, can also be
updated using these tools.
In order to have access to these
updates, you must register your GX65 at
www.beltronics.com. Once registered,
you will receive email notifications that
updates are now
available for your
database or firmware.
The GX65 will
need to be powered up
to use the software
tools. If you have a
laptop computer,
you can take it
out to the vehicle
to download the updates. If not, you will
need to purchase a 12-volt adapter. These
can be found at your local electronics
retailer or our website under accessories.
