GPS Settings

Destinator uses the GPS receiver to pinpoint your location. GPS signals are

automatically acquired and your vehicle's location and position are constantly
updated unless you are working in the Free Browse Map mode or you tap the

GPS Off button. The GPS receiver may take a few minutes to find its initial

location. For best results, ensure that the GPS receiver has a clear view of

the sky.

The following GPS information is displayed:

ƒ

Longitude - The angular distance east or west on the earth's surface.

ƒ

Latitude - The location of a place north or south of the earth's surface.

ƒ

Speed - The rate of movement, as expressed by kilometers or miles per hour.

receiver. If you are working in Free Browse Map mode, Destinator automatically disconnects from the GPS

receiver.
